or angular and sli<r|itly or deeply serrate. Hind wings extending as far as llie 

 tip of the abdomen, full and large, either scarcely l)ent, and with a slight sinns, 

 or distinctly angulated, with a single deep sinns, or regularly and deeply den- 

 tate. Venation: costal vein either free (//y;wc///v//7'</) or anastomosing with 

 the sul)Costal {bilineana and .smafaria). No sul)Costal cell, or else a cell is 

 nearly completed l)y the close approximation of the second sul)costal venule 

 to the main vein. In hijpochraria, the first and second subcostal venules of 

 the same length ; in the other species, the second is very long. The posterior 

 discal venule is more or less oblique. Hind legs with the tibire much swollen ; 

 the tarsi from three-tonrths to one-half as long as the tibia?. Abdomen rather 

 lona and slender, well tufted. Coloration: different shades of ochreons- 

 brown, with the extradiscal line common to l)oth wings, and often split asun- 

 der in the middle of the wing, inclosing a lanceolate oval area: usually with a 

 white or dark oblique apical spot or streak. 



The species of this large and variable genus may usually be distinguished 

 l>y the talcate and often deeply serrate wings, the large i)alpi, and the 

 thick, swollen, hind tibiae. Where the wings are not serrated, they have a 

 large angle in the middle of the outer edge, often preceded by a deep sinus. 

 The females have more deeply serrate and broader wings than the males.
