ENNYCHIID^. 

 Graphicopoda, n. g. 



Seems to come nearest to Emiychia, the wings of the same 

 form ; costal vein of primaries terminating at about second third of 

 the margin ; subcostal five-branched, the first branch emitted before 

 the end of the cell, the second, third, and fourth form a long foot- 

 stalk, the second and third running to costa near apex and the 

 fourth to apex, the fifth emitted from the inferior margin of tlie 

 same footstalk just beyond the cell ; radials emitted from opposite 

 angles of the cell, the disco-cellular being obsolete ; secondaries 

 with the costal vein thickened towards the base ; forked at some 

 distance beyond the cell, the subcostal simple, free, tapering to a 

 fine point below the costal vein but not passing into it, met by an 

 arched line of colour, which probably indicates the former existence 

 of a disco-cellular (or transverse) vein, now obsolete ; radial 

 forming a fourth median branch ; body tolerably slender, extending 

 only a short distance beyond the secondaries ; antennae with large 

 and somewhat cuneiform basal joint, otherwise thick, especially 

 towards the middle, sparsely and delicately pilose; j)alpi straight, 

 thick, rather long, porrect, coarsely scaled, the terminal joint 

 rather short and acute ; legs rather long, compressed, the femora 

 longitudinally deeply grooved, anterior femora with a thick tuft of 

 hair towards the distal extremity, which curls forwards over the 

 knees and projects from the inner surface ; anterior tibiae short, 

 bearing a pencil of hairs, which is emitted below the knee and lies 

 flat below the joint; tarsi long; second pair of tibiae bearing a 

 terminal spur, as long as the first tarsal joint, and a long smooth 

 pencil of gradually expanded hair-scales, which almost conceals 

 the spur when viewed from the side ; the distal extremity of the 

 tibial joint is also oblique and fringed ; tibiae of last pair of legs 

 bearing the usual two pairs of unequal spurs. 



65. Gra2)hicopoda hccate, n. s. 

 Wings above pitchy black-brown ; the isrimaries with two ill- 

 defined basal spots and a third spot below the origin of the first 

 median branch of grey, changing in certain lights to opaline-lilac ; 

 secondaries with the basi-costal area whitish ; body above greyish 

 brown ; wings below blackish piceous, with the basal third whity 

 brown, showing two blackish lunate spots towards the extremities
