Imago. — Head rather Inroad, very hairy in front ; eyes smooth ; 

 jMlpi long, separate throughout their length, thickly scaly, — second 

 joint rather stout, long, ascendant, densely scaly (and sometimes rather 

 hairy) beneath, — terminal joint porrected horizontally, slender, acuminate, 

 smoothly scaled, usually rather long (longer in ^ than in ^) ; antcnnce 

 of moderate length, or rather short, straight, thick, very gradually 

 incrassate from before their middle, or sometimes even from their base, 

 the tip obtuse. 



Thorax robust (especially in $), clothed as in Chrysorycliia. Fore- 

 wings usually more or less prolonged, especially in ^, but blunt and 

 with convex hind-margin in ^ ; in some species, however, hind-margin 

 in both sexes is angulated or elbowed at end of lower radial nervule, 

 and slightly dentate throughout ; subcostal nervure five-branched,^ — 

 the first and second nervules originating widely apart from each other 

 well before extremity of discoidal cell, — the third and fourth similarly 

 well beyond extremity of cell, the latter being short and terminating 

 at apex, — the fifth terminating on hind-margin a little distance from 

 apex ; upper radial nervule united to superior extremity of upper disco- 

 cellular nervule, lower radial at junction of two disco-cellulars. Ilind- 

 ivings not produced in anal-angular portion, but roundly prominent 

 outwardly about middle of hind-margin ; costa but slightly arched or 

 nearly straight ; hind-margin more dentate than that of fore-wing, 

 often with a more or less marked projection or short pointed tail at 

 extremity of submedian nervure, and sometimes with also a similar 

 shorter one at extremity of first median nervule ; neuration as in 



1 In Z. Chrysantas (Trim.) and Z. Leroma (Wallengr.) the fifth subcostal is wanting, the 

 third being given off very mucli nearer to ajjex, and the shorter fourth (which ends at apex) 

 being somewhat sinuated. Wallengren has made Leroma the type of his new genus Crudaria 

 (K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Forhandh, 1S75, P- ^^)' '-'^^ '^^ ^^'^ short diagnosis I find no character 

 of importance except that of the subcostal nervure just mentioned.
