L.EUCOBREPHOS Grt. 

 Buff. Bull, ii, m, 1874. 



Type brephoides Walk. 



Palpi moderate, very lengthily hairy ; face hairy ; antennae bi- 



pectinate in S ; thorax and abdomen heavily haired, untufted ; fore 



wings 11 veins, 3 and 4 stemmed, one accessory cell ; hind wings 8 



veins, 3 and 4 stemmed, 8 separate from cell and subjjarallel with it. 



Species. — L. brephoides Wlk. 



L. middendorfi Men. 



LEUCULID^. 



The only genus is the typical one which follows. The venation is 

 peculiar, and I am doubtful whether the species belongs to the Geo- 

 metrina. It has a decidedly Lithooiid aspect, and its true position 

 cannot be determined until the larva is known. 



L,EU€ULA Guen. 

 Phal. i, 134. 1857. 



Type empusaria Guen. 



Palpi very minute ; clypeus flat, scaled ; antennae of % bi pectinate ; 

 thorax and abdomen untufted ; fore tibiae unarmed ; hind tibiae with 

 two pairs of spurs ; fore wings elongate, even, 12 veins, no accessory 

 cell, 3 and 4 widely separate, 5 nearer 4 than 6, 6 from cell near 7, 



7 and 8 stemmed from point of cell, 9 and 10 stemmed ; hind wings 

 rounded, 3 and 4 widely separate, 5 below middle, 6 and 7 stemmed, 



8 separate from cell, but close to it to end. 



The generic description is from L. lacteolata. I do not know the 

 type of the genus. 



Species. — L. lacteolata Hulst.
