the Geometrina of the Etiropcaii /((iiiia.

at one time included it. The family is no doubt a de- 

 velopment of some early form of the MonocteniacUe. 



The genera in which vein 8 of the hind wings is 

 approximated to the upper margin of cell to near middle 

 are more ancestral than those in which it rapidly 

 diverges. 



In many of the species the terminal joint of the palpi 

 is much longer in the ? than in the <? .

Face smooth. Palpi moderate or rather long, porrected, shortly 

 rough-scaled. Antenme in ^ serrate or filiform, ciliated with 

 fascicles or evenly. Thorax glabrous beneath. Femora glabrous ; 

 posterior tibise in 3" sometimes dilated, without median spurs, in 

 $ with all spurs present ; posterior tarsi in <y sometimes abbrevi- 

 ated. Fore wings with 10 out of 9, 11 sometimes anastomosing 

 with 12. Hind wings with 8 and 4 sometimes stalked, G and 7 

 stalked, 8 very shortly anastomosing with cell near base, thence 

 rapidly diverging. 



A genus of rather limited extent but wide distribution ; 

 probably a development of Euddoris, with perhaps (ol- 

 latcral affinity to Tkalcru.
