40. Hydriris, Meyr. 



Face rounded ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennae 

 five-sixths, in ^ ciliated (^), with angularly projecting scales at 

 joints. Labial palpi modei-ate, arched, ascending, second joint 

 with dense projecting scales beneath, terminal joint moderate, with 

 triangular projecting tuft of scales beneath. Maxillary palpi rudi- 

 mentary. Abdomen in 3 very long, with small anal tuft. Pos- 

 terior tibi« 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 1 ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 

 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to two-fifths. 



Probably allied to Ischnurges ; a genus of two Indo- 

 Malayan species, of which one ranges very widely, 

 extending over Southern Europe, Africa, and Australia. 

 Lederer's name Spanista is preoccupied in the Hyme- 

 noptera.

41. Antigastra, Ld. 



Face flat, oblique ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennaj 

 five-sixths, in <y ciliated (^). Labial palpi moderate, porrected, 

 second joint with dense rough projecting scales attenuated to a 

 point forwards, terminal joint concealed. Maxillary palpi moder- 

 ate, apex loosely penicillate. Abdomen in ^ with moderate anal 

 tuft. Anterior femora and tibia? in ^ clothed with rough pro- 

 jecting hairs on inner side ; posterior tibis with outer spm's one- 

 half inner ; all tarsi very long. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 

 9, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 closely approximated to 9 towards base. 

 Hind wings over 1 ; veins 8, 4, 5 closely appi'oximated at base, 

 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to two-fifths. 



Allied to Ischnurges and Stenia. The typical species 

 is Indian, but ranges into Europe ; the other is Siberian, 

 and may very likely not belong to the genus.
