Corycia vestaUatu, but not in C. se?niclarata). Discal vennles sometimes very 

 ol)lique ; \n_ Eudeilinia, the posterior discal venule is remarkably long and 

 oblique, the first and second median venule arising much nearer tlie outer 

 edge than usual; five or six subcostal venules. First subcostal venule often 

 short. Hind tibiae not swollen; spurs well developed; hind tarsi well devel- 

 oped. 



Larva and pupa. — "Caterpillars moderately long, pedunculiform, without 

 tubercles, scarcely swollen posteriorly; head rounded, as broad as the protho- 

 racic segment; living exposed on trees. Chrysalides contained in cocoons." — 

 Guenee. 



The moths of this group are usually pure white, or white with dark

Syriojjsis of the Genera. 



Second subcostal venule originatiug within the origin of the fifth subcostal Coryeia. 



AntennsB simple; costa of fore wings very full; independent vein co-originating with the first 



median, making the posterior discal venule very long ExidelUnia. 



Antenuie pectinated; second subcostal vein arising beyond the origin of the fifth subcostal .. ZJei'Knia. 

 Antennai simple, like Deilinia, but a subcostal areole present, and first subcostal venule forked . G Mejierio. 

 Antennte pectinated; palpi extending beyond the head; AcidaUa-W^a in the cut of the wings;
