approximated at base or stalked, 7 out of 6 near origin, approxim- 

 ated shortly to 8, or connected with it at a point only. 



Characteristic of the European and Central Asiatic 

 regions. It is by error that Lederer states the antennae 

 to be sometimes cihated ; they are pectinated in all 

 species, but the pectinations are sometimes very slender. 

 Both forms of the structure of vein 8 of the hind wings 

 sometimes occur in the same species, though connection 

 is much rarer.

55. Mnesixena, n. g. 



Face rounded, with slightly projecting scales ; ocelli distinct ; 

 tongue short. Antennae two-thirds, in ^ bipectinated, basal joint 

 large, dilated with scales, often with a small concealed horny pro- 

 jection on upper side. Labial palpi very long, porrected, with loose 

 rough scales, attenuated forwards, terminal joint moderate. Maxil- 

 lary palpi moderate, dilated with loose rough scales towards apex. 

 Abdomen in J with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with 

 spurs all long and nearly equal. Fore wings with veins 7 and 8 

 out of 9, or 8 and 9 out of 7, 10 rather approximated to 7 at base. 

 Hind wings over 1 ; veins 4 and 5 stalked or separate, 7 out of 6 

 near origin, approximated shortly to 8. 



A small genus, characteristic of Western Asia and the 

 shores of the Mediterranean.
