Genus LXXIV. PYCINA. 



Pycina Boisduval MS. 



Body very robust, densely woolly ; fore Avings angulated below the apex ; hind wings thickly ornamented beneath 



with irregular undulating streaks and clouds, and with a submarginal row of five beautiful ocelli. 

 Head transverse, clothed with short hairs, not tufted in front. 



Eyes large, densely hairy. 



Labial Palpi very small, not extending higher than the level of the middle of the eyes, scaly ; the tip of the 

 middle joint and the minute conical third joint alone being visible from above ; the latter rather obliquely 

 inserted. 



Antenncc straight, rather more than half the length of the fore wings, and nearly as long as the entire body ; 

 rather slender ; terminated by a well defined club, occupying about one fifth of the antenna3, very elongate- 

 ovate, not compressed, with a delicate double keel on the inside. 

 Thorax much broader than the head, densely woolly, oblong, truncated behind. 



Fore Wings elongate-trigonate. Fore margin moderately arched. Apex truncate. Apical margin angulated 

 below the apex, deeply emarginate below the angle, about three fifths of the length of the anterior margin. 

 Inner margin about as long as the apical. Costal vein extending about two thirds of the length of the costa. 

 The first and second branches of the postcostal vein arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, 

 the second being close to its extremity; third branch arising at about half the length of the wing, and 

 extending to the tip ; fourth branch arising at about three fourths of the length of the wing. Upper 

 disco-cellular arising at three sevenths of the length of the wing from the base, very short ; middle disco-ceUular 

 much longer, and very much curved towards the base of the wing ; outer disco-cellular rather longer than the 

 middle one, very oblique, and scarcely curved, uniting with the third branch of the median vein at a little 

 distance from its origin, closing the discoidal cell about the middle of the wing, in an acute point. 



Ilind Winffs subtriangular. Costal margin arched at the base, deeply emarginate in the middle ; outer angle 

 dilated and rounded. Apical margin slightly scalloped. Inner margin, and disc of the wing towards the 

 body, very thickly woolly. Precostal vein with its tip slightly curved towards the body. Discoidal cell closed 

 by a slender disco-cellular vein, uniting with the third branch of the median vein almost at its base. 



Fore Legs of the male pectoi'al, but longer than in the neighbouring genera, being nearly half an inch long. 

 Fenuir nearly straight, with a row of silken hairs on the inside, set on at right angles. Tibia and tarsus 

 forming a very thick brush, more than one eighth of an inch in width. Tibia as long as the femur. Tarsus 

 two thirds of the length of the tibia.
