Body slender, hairy ; wings nioi-e variegated, with the costal and median veins of the fore pair swollen at the base. 

 Head moderate-sized, very hairy, with a frontal tuft. 



Eyes prominent, hairy. 



Labial Palpi porrected obliquely, tlie tips raised to the level of the tops of the eyes, extending forwards as far as 

 the length of the head, very slender; the front of the basal and second joints thickly clothed with long 

 divaricating hairs, extending to the tip ; the terminal joint being extremely short. 



Antenna; straight, distinctly annulated with white, not quite half the length of the fore wings ; terminated by a 

 distinct, compressed, pear-shaped club, the tip being bent outwards ; the club, however, varies considerably in 

 shape, being elongated and very gradually formed in some of the exotic species. 

 Thorax oval, moderate-sized, hairy. 



Fore Wings large, elongate-triangular. Costal margin moderately arched ; apex rounded. Apical margin entire, 

 more than two thirds of the length of the costal. Inner margin about as long as the apical. Costal and median 

 veins dilated at the base, the latter less so than the former. Veins arranged as in Arge. The upper 

 disco-cellular very short, transverse ; the middle and lower disco-cellular forming a continuous curved line, the 

 middle one shorter than the lower one. Tlie discoidal cell reaching rather beyond the middle of the wing ; a 

 veinlet extending into the discoidal cell, continuous with the lower discoidal vein ; another veinlet extending 

 backwards from near the lower extremity of the lower disco-cellular vein. 



Hind Wiiiijs subovate. Outer margin moderately scallopped. Anal margin not incised near the extremity. 

 Upper disco-cellular vein arising at a short distance from the origin of the branch of the postcostal, considerably 

 curved, and throwing off a veinlet backwards into the discoidal cell : lower disco-cellular vein considerably 

 longer than the upper one, also curved, and united with the median vein at the origin of its third branch, or 

 sometimes preceding the third branch. 



Fore Leys small, but distinct, and very hairy in both sexes ; those of the male very slender, and more thickly 

 hairy, with the tarsus simple, and acute at the tip. Fore Legs of the female scarcely longer. Tibia shorter 

 than the femur. Tarsus equal to the tibia, dilated, and compressed at the extremity, where it is articulated, 

 and armed on the inside with short spines. 



Four Hind Legs moderately long, very slender, scaly. Femur hairy beneath. Tibia and tarsus with very few 

 spines beneath. Ungues curved, acute, simple, dilated into an angulated lobe at the base. Paronychia slender, 

 bifid. Pidvillus .small, rounded. 

 Abdomen slender. 



Cateiipillar elongate, villose, with two short points at the tail. 



Chrysalis short, thick, with small angular projections, and two points at the head ; suspended by 

 the tail. 



The dilatation of the base of the costal and median veins of the fore wings distinguishes the species of this genus from the preceding 

 European genera, whilst the liairy eyes separate them from the following, to which they are intimately allied. They are more varied in
