464 LÉPIDOPTÉROLOGIE COMPARÉE 



hind wing are somewhat shortened and the bristles are not so 

 strong, but otherwise, it is very like the type of hnn'ù female with 

 greatly reduced wings. 



The body is quite female and is very likc that of spécimen 3, 

 but the collar and patagia are more marked with paler fur. 



A degenerate ovipositor. mixed with parts of the maie geni- 

 talia, passes under the body. 



The antennae are very thick and are female at the base but 

 otherwise are much like those of spécimen i save that the pec- 

 tinations are longer and fewer. The apex of left antenna is 

 nearly Q . 



This is figured on PI. A, No. 4 and its genitalia on PI. M, 

 No. 3;. 



5. The left forewmg is very like the right forewing of 

 number 4. The left hindwing, although shorter and broader, is 

 very like the right wing of spécimen 2. The right forewing is long 

 and linear. The inner half is rusty yellow, but the outer pointed 

 portion, is thicker and blacker. The costa is much more strongly 

 bristled than on the left side. 



The right hindwing resembles that of number 2. The body 

 is female and is very close in appearance to that of pomonaria, 

 but the scales are pale yellow. The antennœ are nearly female ; 

 the left one has a few maie pectinations at a thickened part about 

 2 mm. from the base. Both bear a few pectinations near the apex. 



See figure on PI. A, No. 5. 



6. The left forewing is very near to the right forewing of 

 number 5, but is twisted ; in colour it is very black, with a few 

 yellow scales at the base; it is strongly covered with black bristles. 

 The left hindwing seems to be similar, but is broader ; it is, 

 however, too malformed to make out the detailed structure. The 

 right forewing is very like that on the opposite side but is broader 

 and longer. The right hindwing is distorted and twisted ; it 

 would hâve been like the corresponding wing of number 3.
