Synia musculosa, should certainly not preceed 

 the Leucanias with which it has nothing in common. 

 Barrett places it among the Tapinostolas ; this might 

 easily be if the Tapinostolas were made to include 

 several of the Nonagrias and also (Miaiia) arciiosn and 

 expolita which undoubtedly belong to this group ; and 

 possibly the remainder of the Miaiias. From a genitalia 

 point of view, I suggest the following alteration, as being 

 nearer to true relationship, at the same time admitting 

 that the grouping is distinctly difficult, mostly leading 

 directly or indirectly to the Hydroecias, 



Nonai^ria musculosa. 



Harpe peaked, with corona; from the base of the 

 cucullus arises a spatulate flap, which is connected 

 with a rudimentary clasper; clavus rounded and 

 scobinated ; uncus bluntly pointed ; sedoeagus strongly 

 toothed at the orifice; vesica with short bulbed cornutus. 



Fulva. 



Harpe rounded, with marginal spines, no corona; clasper 

 extends from the cucullus, and is strong and pointed; 

 uncus tongue shaped ; vesica with bunch of small teeth ; 

 the juxta is produced into two flaps turned over, 

 and scobinated. 



Geminipuncta. 



Harpe simple, hairy, with indication of cucullus being 

 divided, without corona or marginal spines : clasper and 

 ampulla atrophied ; clavus lobed ; uncus cygnated ; 

 peniculus curiously peaked ; vesica with spicule. 



Neurica ; edelsteni. Tutt. Pencils present. 



Harpe trigonate, with a corona of 20 spines ; clasper 

 attached to the skin, except at the head, where it turns 

 to a short peaked arm ; ampulla a papilla ; clavus 

 rounded ; uncus tongue shaped ; aedoeagus with a short 

 tooth ; vesica with scobinated process where it joins the 

 aedoeagus at the orifice.
