SECTION II. 



Wiiigs of imaiio with roiuuled angles; male alxloiniiial a|)peiHlages having the hook 

 of upper organ moderately hirge ami not inconspicuous; inferior arms developed into 

 long, backward directed appendages, replacing the basal upper process of the clasps 

 whicli is entirely wanting; clasps as long as. or longer, than broad. Chrysalis 

 much less strongly angulated than in the preceding group, the tubercles blunt.

Imago (53 : ")). Head large, unifoi-iidy and densely covered Avith mingled longer 

 and shorter hairs. Front moderately full, slightly i)rotuberant in the nnddle or just 

 Ijelow it. as broad as. or slightly narrower than, the eyes, slightly broader than high, 

 the upi)er l>order holloAved in front of the antennae, rather broadly Init prominently 

 convex in the middle, the posterior extrennty well rounded: lower border broadly 

 rounded, the middle half nearly straight. Vertex snnill. rather tunud. transverse, sub- 

 triangular, with slender, lateral extensions; posterior border convex, anterior -with a 

 median convexity: posterior border of the eyes opposite that of the vertex; eyes 

 large, full, sparsely pilose with sliort. delicate hairs. .Vnteiuiae inserted in the ndddle 

 of the summit in distinct, pretty deep pits, connected l)y a narrow but pretty deep 

 sulcation. their bases distant from each other by twice the width of the antennal stalk, 

 outwardly nearly touching the eye; more tlian half as long again as the abdomen, con- 

 sisting of from thirty-nine to forty -one joints, the last eleven developing into a spatu- 

 late club, the last joint of which forms a minute, sharply pointed, short, conical tip, 

 but otherwise broadly rounded at the extremity, the last four joints entering into the 

 decrease of size: the club is two and a half times longer than broad and tive times 

 broader than the stalk, strongly depressed. Palpi compact, stout, two and a half times 

 longer than the eye. the terminal joint about one-third as long as the penultimate, 

 densely clothed with scales and the penultimate with a few rather short, erect hairs on 

 the apical half above and a few similar but spreading, curved hairs on the lower half 

 of the sides. Papillae occupying the apical twelfth of the tongue, of varying 

 shape, slender, about four times as long as broad, or about as long as the width of 

 one side of the tongue beyond the median canal, the tip truncate and cup-sliaped, the 

 rim with four or live thorns half as long as the central Hlament which is shorter than 

 the width of the cup; situated beneath the outer edge of the tongue and so distant as 

 to nearly leave room for two more between each pair. 



Prothoracic lobes (61 :.'*7) large, reniform. tumid, of uniform length throughout, 

 curving downward, the ends well rounded, half as high again as long and nearly four 

 times as broad as long. Patagia scarcely convex, very liroad and well rounded at the 

 base, the basal three-tifths tapering very rapidly, the apical two-rifths forming a very 

 slender, nearly uniform. e(|ual. pointed linger, scarcely curving downward. 



Foi-e wings (38: 12) more than half as long again as broad, the costal border very 

 broadly rounde<t. sligidly more toAvard the apex; outer border broadly sinuous, reced-
