PetasitiS. From S. J. Capper. 



Harpe with small trigonate cucullus, divided, with corona; 

 anal angle pointed ; clasper extends to the cucullus, 

 tapered ; ampulla a short arm ; uncus broad, tongue 

 shaped, not pointed ; sedoeagus dentated at the orifice ; 

 vesica with strong short bulbed cornutus. 



Brevilinea. Pencils present. 



Harpe with corona only on the upper 4th ; cucullus 

 divided, rounded at the anal angle ; the clasper a tapered

Axylia putris. 



Harpe with round cucullus, corona with 3 rows of very 

 long spines ; clasper curved ; ampulla short and rounded ; 

 clavus raised and spinose ; uncus simple. 



We now come to a number of genera of single species 

 wherein the genitalia do not suggest modifications of 

 the existing arrangement ; I have therefore adhered to 

 this, omitting sapponarice, which appears to have been 

 included only on account of its reticulated wing markings; 

 really it belongs to the trigonate group of Xylophasias 

 Mamestras, &c. 



Dipteryg'ia pinastri. Pencils present. 



Harpe rounded ; cucullus spinose with long spines, at the 

 anal angle, is a bifurcate jointed tooth ; clasper a straight 

 arm ; sacculus thickly clothed with long hair ; uncus 

 broad and bluntly tipped ; vesica clothed with a number 

 of strong cornuti. 



Cloantha pepspieillaris ; polyodon. From 



L. B. Prout. Pencils absent. 



Harpe with corona ; cucullus divided, and hairy ; clasper 

 very wide, with blunt tip ; ampulla bifurcate, with 

 extending finger ; uncus broad and tapered ; vesica with 

 two long, strong cornuti.
