Probably allied to the so-called " Eubolia " momaria 

 of Snellen. 



Hammaptera, Herrich-Schdffer. 



The species of this genus, although referred by M. 

 Guenee to Cidaria, and by Walker both to Cidaria and 

 Pterocypha, are in reality intermediate in structure be- 

 tween Larentia and LohopJiora, the females being ex- 

 tremely like Larentia frustata both in pattern, coloration, 

 and structure, and the males like broad-winged Loho- 

 phorcB, the lobe being represented by a sort of inverted 

 and folded pouch upon the surface of the abdominal area 

 of the secondaries.
