Group I. 



Palpi porrecti, caput longe superantes ; articulus 3us elonga- 

 tus, lanceolatus, 2i dimidio vix brevior. Alae latiusculse ; anticae 

 apud costam rectas, apice vix angulatse, margine exteriore vix 

 obliquo. 



Palpi porrect, extending far beyond the head ; third joint elon- 

 gate, lanceolate, hardly half the length of the second. Wings 

 rather broad. Fore wings straight in front, hardly angular at the 

 tips, hardly oblique along the exterior border. 



This species hardly belongs to the LeucanidcE, but should be 

 transferred to the 2nd division of Noctuites with which it agrees in 

 the length of the terminal joint of the palpi, and in other characters.
