15.— NEMORiEA, Dst. 



Nemoe^a et Plattchiea, End. 



Oen. ch. — Species mostly large, highly developed, and closely 

 allied to each other ; eyes hairy, more or less approximated in the 

 male, but never contiguous, and always much shorter than the sides o£ 

 the head ; forehead prominent ; antennae drooping, with the second 

 joint elongated, often nearly as long as the third ; facialia bare ; cheeks 

 sometimes clothed with soft hairs ; chin large, extending far below the 

 eyes, and setose ; abdomen oval, middle segments with or without 

 discal setae ; fore tarsi more or less dilated in the females. 



Roudani noticed that those species which have both marginal and 

 discal abdominal setae, which are by far the more numerous, have 

 the fore tarsi of the females more dilated than those which are without 

 the discal setae ; he therefore placed them in a separate genus, which 

 he named Platychira ; they resemble their congeners, however, so 

 closely in all other characters that I think they should not be separated 

 from them.
