NY:\IPI1ALINAE : THE GENUS EUGONIA. 373 



half as long again as the abdomen , composed of forty-four joints, the last twelve of which 

 form a very oblong-ovate cylindrical clul), a little depressed, about twice as broad as 

 tlie .stalk, more than live times as long as broad, the extremity very bluntly conical, the 

 last three or four joints entering into the diminution of size and successively turned 

 a little outward, so that the outer edge of the club is nearly straight to the tip, and the 

 inner broadly rounded ; furnished beneath with a very slight triple carina, scarcely 

 visible on any portion of the stalk. Palpi .stout, about two and a half times longer 

 tlian the eye, compressed, scarcely curved forward above, the terminal joint about a 

 third the length of the middle, the whole heavily clothed throughout Avith somewhat 

 erect scales and furnished with a few moderately long, .slender hairs both above aufl 

 below, all directed in a vertical plane. 



Prothoracic lobes large, tumid, especially l)ehind, the ends well rounded, scarcely 

 smaller outAvardly, a little appressed in front, fully three times as broad as long and as 

 broad as high. Patagia twice as long as broad, very bi'oad, well rounded and nearly 

 cir<:*\ilar at base, scarcely at all swollen, the posterior lobe very .slender and tapering, 

 projecting backward as a slightly falcate blade, the tip roundly pointed. 



Fore Avings (38:8) considerably more than half as long again as broad, the costal 

 border scarcely bent at a little distance from the base, beyond that nearly straight to 

 an e(iual distance from the tip, where it becomes more curved; outer border with the 

 poi'tion above the middle of the loAver subcostal interspace very slightly concave, hav- 

 ing a general direction at a very little less than a right angle with the central portion 

 of the costal border, beyond receding suddenly at a little more than a right angle to the 

 middle of the subcosto-mcdian interspace and continuing in a deep, crenulate curve to 

 just below the lower median nervure, where a prominent rounded tooth is formed and 

 below Avhich the border is excised, the angle rounded off; inner border very nearly 

 straight, scarcely convex on the basal two-thirds. First superior subcostal nervule 

 emitted a little beyond the middle of the outer two-thirds of the upper margin of the 

 cell ; the second a little more than half way from the origin of the flrst to the tip of 

 the cell ; the third midway between the tip of the cell and the origin of the fourth ; 

 the latter at three-fifths the distance from the tip of the cell to the apex of the wing; 

 second inferior subcostal nervule arising scarcely one-third way down the cell ; the 

 latter considerably less than half as long as the wing and three times as long as broad. 

 Middle of the basal curve of the last median nervule connected with the vein closing 

 the cell. 



Hind wings slightly and broadly convex, less so away from the base ; the outer angle 

 very broadly rounded off by the gradual slope of the outer border, which is well 

 rounded, crenulate, slightly and very broadly prominent in the subcostal region, pro- 

 duced at the tip of the upper median into a rather broad, well rounded tail, a little 

 longer than broad, scarcely tapering, below which, excepting the crenulations, the 

 border is nearly straight; the inner border is considerably expanded near the base, 

 beyond a little convex, broadly and roundly excised in its apical third, the outer angle 

 a right angle, but well rounded. Precostal nervure originating considerably beyond 

 the divarication of the costal and subcostal nervures, minutely forked at the tip, the 

 longer fork directed outward ; cell closed by a very feeble vein. 



Fore legs small, cylindrical, scarcely depressed, thickly clothed Avith a bushy, de- 

 pressed bunch of long, somcAvhat spreading hairs, thicker and more Avidely spread in 

 the male than in the female ; tibia three-fifths the length of the hind tibia ; tarsi about 

 three-fifths the length of the tibia, either consisting of three indistinct joints, the first 

 a little longer than the others together, these tAvo about equal, all unarmed ((J) or, 

 distinctly composed of five joints, of Avhich the flrst is three times as long as all the 

 others together, these groAving successively smaller toward the tip, all anued beneath 

 Avith a pair of very small and short apical spines, the field in Avhich all but the basal 

 pair occur being bare of scales ( ? ). Middle tibiae scarcely so long as the hind pair, 

 furnished on either side beneath and on the upper portion of the inner side Avith a row 

 of not very frequent, pretty long and moderately slender, slightly spreading spines, the 

 terminal ones of the inferior vf)Avs developed into sliort. moderately stout spurs. First
