LYCAKNINAK: THE (JKNUS URANOTES. 847 



ill size to near the tip, wliore it eiul^i in a Ijliiiilly romuleil yet slightly angulated apex, 

 four joints enttM'iii!; into the diniinntion of size; it is nearly Ave times as long as 

 broad, and rather strongly depressed. Palpi sliiiht, nearly half as long again as the 

 eyes, the terminal joint a little longer than the penultimate and scarcely clothed with 

 scales, while the other joints are furnished on the under surface with a considerable 

 mass of long scales and a few hairs, all compressed in a vertical plane. 



Patagia exceedingly long and slender, scarcely arched and not tumid, but with a 

 longitudinal, transversely rounded ridge, a little removed from the inner border; four 

 or live times as long as broad, the basal half tapering slightly, the apical half cciual, 

 half as l)road as the base, the apex bluntly rounded. 



Fore wings (39 : 12) scarcely more than half as long again as broad, the costal bor- 

 der expanded somewhat at the very base, beyond straight three-fourths of the way to 

 the tip, which is then curved slightly backward. Outer border roundly and slightly 

 bent at the tip of the upper median nervule ((J), or at the tip of the lower subcost.al 

 nervure and a little more prominently (?), the general course of the border being at 

 an angle of about 45° with the middle of the costal border; inner border straight, the 

 angle rounded. Costal nervure terminating scarcely beyond the tip of the cell ; sub- 

 costal with three superior branches, the first arising a little beyond the middle of the 

 upper border of the cell, the second halfway between tliis and the third, whicli arises just 

 before the apex of the coll. the main br.anch tlex^'d downward in the least possible 

 degree between its origin and the cell termination ; veins closing the cell very obscure 

 throughout. Cell slightly more than half as long as the wing and fully four times as 

 long as broad. 



Hind wings with the basal half of the costal border pretty strongly bowed, beyond 

 nearly straight, and then curved liackward to the tip of the upper subcostal, where it 

 joins the curve of the outer border with a well rouuded, regular curve ( ? ), or with a 

 rounded, somewhat abrupt angle ((J) ; the outer border is a very little convex, more 

 so in $ than in <J , tlie prominence of its upper portion in the latter diminishing the 

 curve. At the tip of the middle median nervule is a minute, short tail, and at the tip 

 of the loW'Or median a very long, thread-like tail, nearly twice as long as the widtli of 

 the interspace at its base; the inner border is nearly straight beyond the basal expan- 

 sion, but very broadly and slightly excised just before the apex, where the angle is 

 abrupt but rounded off. Submedian nervure terminating on the outer border just next 

 the anal angle ; internal nervure terminating a very little beyond the middle of the 

 inner border. 



No discal stigma and no androconia. 



Fore til)iae aljout four-fifths the length of the hind tibiae, the fore legs similarly 

 developed in both sexes, the tarsi equal in length to the tibiae; last joint of tarsi 

 either resembling the same part in the other legs ( J ) ; or very small, bearing at its un- 

 enlarged tip only a pair of nearly straight spines, the continuation of the row at the 

 sides, and having its upper surface covered with very short and close haii's {$) ; there 

 is greater disparity between the tarsal spines and spurs in the female than in the male, 

 the spines in the latter being spur-like, but little shorter than the spurs ; otherwise, 

 and excepting that in both sexes the tibial spurs are naked, the fore legs are like the 

 others. Hind and middle femora very thinly fringed with hairs ; middle tibiae 

 scarcely shorter than the hind pair, armed beneatli with a few very small, scattered 

 spines, and at the tip with a pair of not very long spurs, half concealed by scales. 

 First joint of tarsi equalling the succeeding three, which diminish regularly in size, 

 the fifth scarcely longer than the fourth: armed beneath as In the preceding genus, 

 the spines more abundant beyond the first joint; under surface of all the joints but 

 the basal bare of scales. Claws small, compressed, tapering, finely pointed, not very 

 strongly nor regularly curved; paronychia simple, rather stout, equal, nearly as long 

 as the claw, curving a little In a direction opposite to that of the claw; pulvillus 

 minute, projecting. 



Abdominal append.ages; upper organ with moderately Ijroad, well rounck'd alations, 

 the two halves separated on the median line above by a broad, rather shallow notch.
