49. Sterrha, Hh. 

 Face smooth or loosely haired. Palpi rather short, ascending or 

 porrected, shortly rough-scaled beneath or with rough projecting 

 hairs. Antennae in (J filiform or dentate, evenly ciliated or with 

 fascicles, rarely emitted from very short processes. Thorax 

 glabrous or rarely hairy beneath. Femora glabrous or rarely 

 hairy ; posterior tibiae in ^ moderate, slender, without median 

 spurs, rarely {luridata) with only one terminal spur, in $ without 

 median spurs ; posterior tarsi in ^ moderate. Fore wings with 

 10 out of 9, 11 anastomosing or connected with 9. Hind wings 

 with 6 and 7 stalked. 



Not yet known to occur outside the European region. 

 The genus is certainly closely related to Eois, but the 

 nature of the relationship appears at present doubtful ; 

 it may be a collaterally developed branch, and there 

 would be no difficulty in supposing this, but it seems 

 to me also possible that the tibial characters of the ^ 

 might be derived by transference from the $ , in which 

 case these species, though possessing terminal spurs in 

 the c? , might be descended from others without terminal 

 spurs, a result not otherwise attainable. If this could 

 be proved, it would be a curious reversal of the un- 

 doubted fact that the absence of the median spurs in the 

 ? is due to transference from the <? . The point is 

 certainly worthy of investigation, but difficult to decide. 



The customary misuse of the generic name Strrvha 

 (used by Hiibner to include scyiccaia only, and therefore 

 of unmistakable application) is noticed under lihodo- 

 matra.
