Genus LX. ATERICA. 



Aterica Boisduval, Blancliard. 

 Catonepiiele and Hamanujuda IlUhier. 



Body rather slender and elonjjate. 



Wings large, veins not thick ; 



fore ones elongate-triangular ; hind ones large, 



rounded, entire, and but slightly scalloped. 

 Head transverse, nearly as broad as the thorax, with two very small tufts between the eyes. 



Eyes naked, prominent. 



Antenna; long, slender ; terminated by a moderately long, gradually formed, slender club, finely keeled beneath. 



Labial Palpi very small and slender, scaly, directed upwards obliquely, scarcely reaching the level of the middle 

 of the eyes, scaly. Basal joint beneath, and upper side of the second joint beyond the middle, clothed with 

 rather short hairs ; terminal joint very minute. 

 Thorax oval, moderately hairy. 



Fore Wings elongate, triangular. Fore margin much curved ; apical angle slightly rounded. Apical margin 

 scarcely more than half the length of the anterior one, nearly straight. Inner margin about one fourth longer 

 than the apical one. Costal vein rather strong. Subcostal one slender, with the first and second branches 

 arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell ; third branch arising at about three fourths of the 

 length of the wing, reaching nearly to the apex of the costa ; fourth branch very short ; terminal pai-t of tlie 

 vein rather deflexed. Upper disco-cellular arising at the length of one third of the wing, extremely short, 

 oblique; middle disco-cellular longer, rather curved outwardly; lower disco-cellular very thin, but distinct, 

 transverse, four times as long as the middle one, uniting with the third branch of the median vein just beycjnd 

 its origin, tluis closing the cell at some distance before the middle of the wing ; third branch of the median 

 vein much arched. 



Hind Wings very large, suboval, or nearly rounded. Costa angulated and truncated near its base. Outer margin 

 slightly scalloped. Precostal vein strongly bent outwardly beyond the middle, where it throws off a sliglit 

 branch towards the body. Subcostal vein branched at a little distance from the base. The upper disco-celliilar 

 forming the slightly curved base of the discoidal ; lower disco-cellular wanting, so that the cell is open. 



Fore Legs of the male very minute, thin, and finely downy. Tibia two thirds of the length of the femur. Tarsus 

 nearly as long as the tibia, exarticulate. Fore Legs of the female nearly twice as long again as those of the 

 male, very thin. Femur hairy. Tibia and tarsus' scaly ; the latter two thirds as long as the til)ia, with several 

 pairs uf minute spines near the tijJ, indicating the intermediate joints ; the basal joint being much the longest.
