208 ZYG.'ENID^ AND BOMBYCID^ 



BOMBYCID^. 



COCHLIDIINi;. 



Genus PAUASA. Moore. 



" Head prominent, the front very broad, square. Antennae shorter 

 than in Euclea, pectinated on the basal half, the branches a little longer 

 than in Euclea. The palpi are porrect, the subacute tips passing a 

 little beyond the front, but they are not so stout nor so long as in 

 Euclea. Thorax stouter than usual, globose, while the abdomen is 

 small, tapering rapidly towards the tip, which is not much tufted. 

 Primaries broad, costa swollen near the base, and towards the apex, 

 being more excavated in the middle than in Euclea, while the apex is 

 more produced, and the outer edge is longer and more oblique, more 

 regularly rounded and continuous with the inner edge, which is a little 

 shorter than the outer edge, while in Euclea the outer edge is shorter 

 than the inner. The subcostal nervure runs nearer the costal edge 

 than usual, going straight to the origin of its 3rd nervule. The ori- 

 gins of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd subcostal nervulesare equidistant. Apical 

 interspace shorter and broader than in Euclea. Discal nervules and 

 origin of last subcostal and ist median are all well placed beyond 

 the middle of the wing. Last subcostal nervule arises opposite the 

 independent or ist median, where in Euclea it is removed much farther 

 inward. The 2nd median nervule arises farther in than the 3rd, and 

 the end of the nervure connecting them is very oblique, while in Euclea 

 it is straight and the two nervules arise opposite each other.'' 



" The secondaries reach nearly to the tips as in Euclea, but are nar- 

 rower, and the outer margin is shorter, thus making the interspaces 

 narrower, especially the apical space ; and the branches of the median 

 nervure are shorter. * * * "phe wings and body are finer scaled 

 than in Euclea and the veins can be more distinctly seen on either 

 side."

The above descripdon appeared under the name of Callochlora 

 Packard. The colors of the genus are green and brown, the former 

 color predominating on the primaries, whereas the reverse is the case 

 in Euclea.
