S. In pattern nearest to Xi/lop/tanes ceratomi aides. Pale discal baud of hind- 

 wing separated into spots. Tenth tergite narrow, trnncate-sinnate at tip : sternite 



slightly acuminate. Harpe larger than in X ceratomioides, but of nearly the same 

 structure. Penis-sheath with a rather long and broad dentate process at the right 

 side, and a shorter, hand-shaped, dentate left process.

S ? . First segment of palpus on inner surface without regular dense scaling 

 at npex, second segment witliout apical tuft of long scales on innerside. Eye 

 lashed. Antennae iucrassate distally, club-shaped in ?. Abdominal spines rather 

 strong, especially on tergites, in three sizes, with some intermediate ones, generally 

 triseriate, never nniseriate, much fewer in number than in Fergesa. External spines 

 of foretarsus more or less prolonged, always longer than the respective spines on 

 the inuerside of the tarsus ; comb of mid- and hindtarsus vestigial, the spines 

 not being much prolonged ; first segment of hindtarsus shorter than the tibia, 

 about twice the length of the long tibial spur, this more than twice the length 

 of the short spur ; pulvillus present or vestigial. Distal margin of wings entire : 

 SO- and !!• of hindwiug separate or from a point, occasionally shortly stalked : 

 R- central, or a little before centre ; D^ longer than D'. 



S. Sexual armature nearly the same in all the species. Tenth tergite simide, 

 narrowing apically, convex above, feebly curved at end, almost straight in side-view, 

 tip rounded or truncate, sometimes feebly emarginate ; sternite broader than 

 tergite, boat-shaped, being prismatically compressed, apex rounded or obtusely 

 acuminate. Clasper broadly sole-shaped ; friction-scales numerous and in most 

 species small ; harpe ending in a thin, more or less curved, simple, tapering 

 process (PI. LII. f. 8). Penis-sheath (PI. LVI. f. 50) : dorsal apical edge iucrassate, 

 dentate, produced at the left side (right iu figure) into a short process ; tiie length 

 of the brim-like incrassation, as well as the dentition, slightly different in the various 

 species. 



9 . Eight tergite sinuate mesially. Vaginal plate obtusely triangular, without 

 special armature ; orifice large, mesial.
