Genus XXV. CYBDELIS.

 Cybdelis Boisd. 

 Vanessa God*., &c. 

 Temenis Hiilm. 



Head not so wide as the thorax, thickly hairy. 



Eyes oval, prominent, covered with hairs. 



Labial Palpi projecting considerably beyond the forehead, approximating, ascending, scaly, tin- 

 second joint with a distinct dorsal tuft. First joint short, curved, less than one third the 

 length of the second; second joint nearly cylindric, very slightly curved, obliquely truncate 

 at the apex, furnished in front with a few setas ; third joint subcorneal, rounded at the base, 

 broader at its broadest part than the second, of which it is more than half the length. 



Maxilla? quite as long as the thorax. 



Antenna about three fourths the length of the body, slender, terminating in a short gradually 

 incrassated club, grooved below. 

 Thorax moderately stout, oval, hairy, and slightly scaly. 



Anterior Wings nearly triangular. Anterior margin but little arched ; apex more or less 

 truncate. Outer margin about two thirds the length of the anterior, more or less emarginate. 

 Inner margin nearly straight, rather longer than the outer. Costal nervure much swollen, 

 sometimes for the greater part of its length, terminating beyond the middle of the anterior 

 margin. Subcostal nervure slender at its origin, where it lies close to the costal ; its first 

 nervule thrown off just before the end of the cell; the second at about the same distance 

 beyond it ; the third at a point opposite to the termination of the first, and about midway 

 between the fourth and the end of the cell, terminating at the apex ; the fourth rather 

 nearer to the third than to the outer margin. Upper disco-cellular nervule very short. Middle 

 about two thirds the length of the lower disco-cellular, or of the space between the second 

 discoidal nervule and the third median nervule. Lower disco-cellular nervule either rudi- 

 mentary or wanting ; when present, united to the base of the third median nervule. Median 

 nervure swollen at its origin, its third nervule considerably curved. Submedian nervure 

 sometimes swollen at its origin. 



Posterior Wings more or less obovate. Anterior margin considerably produced at the shoulder, 

 thence nearly straight. Outer margin rounded, sometimes slightly produced at the anal 

 angle. Inner margin rather longer than the others, which are nearly equal. Precostal nervule
