46. Cataclysta, Hh. 



Face rounded, vertical ; ocelli obsolete ; tongue developed. 

 Antenna two-thirds, in (^ filiform, towards apex with angularly 

 projecting joints, ciliated (J). Labial jjalpi moderately long, 

 arched, ascending, second joint with appressed scales or shortly 

 rough-haired beneath, terminal joint moderate, slender, obtuse or 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi short or moderate, filiform. Abdomen 

 in (^ with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs 

 three-fourths of inner. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 8, 9 and 

 10 out of 8. Hmd wings 1 ; veins 3 and 4 approximated at base, 

 5 approximated or stalked or coincident with 4, 7 out of 6 near 

 origin, anastomosing or wholly coincident with 8. 



A development of the preceding ; probably especially 

 Indo-Malayan, but every main region seems to possess 

 one or two species. 

 lemnata, L. 



47. DONACAULA, n. g. 



Face rounded, vertical ; ocelli distinct ; tongue obsolete. An- 

 tennae in (^ three-fifths, filiform, ciliated (li). Labial palpi very

 towards apex, terminal joint moderately long, exposed. Maxillary

 in (J with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs 

 two-thirds of inner. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 8, 9 and

 abnormally 8 and 9 out of 10). Hind wings over 1 ; veins 4 and 5 

 approximated at base or stallied, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastom- 

 osing with 8 to one-third. 



A development of Schonnohius. The single species is 

 European and West Asiatic.
