curved, ascending, second joint with loosely appressed scales, more 

 or less rough beneath, terminal joint moderate, rather slender, 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi short, filiform. Abdomen in ^ with 

 small anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs one-half inner. 

 Fore wings with vein 7 from near 9, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 closely 

 approximated to 9 towards base. Hind wings over 1 ; veins 3, 4, 5 

 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 

 to two-fifths ; in <? with median fold dilated in cell into an elong- 

 ate-oval depression. 



A development from Xotai'clia ; a small Indo-Malayan 

 genus, of which one species ranges into Siberia, It is 

 included by Lederer under Concliijlodes, Gn., and I have 

 formerly called it by that name, but I now consider that 

 Guenee's genus is quite distinct from it.

7. NoTARCHA, Meyr. 

 Face rounded ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennas 

 three-fourths, in ^ filiform or with projecting joints, ciliated 

 {\ — 1^). Labial palpi moderate, arched, ascending, second joint 

 with dense projecting scales beneath, terminal joint short, thick, 

 tolerably cylinch-ical, obtuse. Maxillary palpi moderate, porrected, 

 filiform. Abdomen in ^ witli slender anal tuft. Posterior tibiae 

 with outer spurs somewhat less than one-half inner. Fore wings 

 with vein 7 approximated to 9 near base, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 

 closely approximated to 9 towards base. Hind wings over 1 ; veins 

 3, 4, 5 closely approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastom- 

 osing with 8 to about one-third. 



An extensive genus, probably Indo-Malayan in origin, 

 but apparently now distributed throughout intertropical 

 regions. The only truly European species is a remark- 

 able exception ; two other Indian species range into 

 Syria and Siberia respectively.
