simple. Thorax glabi'oiis or hairy beneath. Femora glabrous or 

 loosely hairy ; posterior tibite in ^ often dilated, sometimes with 

 pencil of hairs in groove, with all spurs present ; posterior tarsi in 

 3' sometimes abbreviated. Fore wings with 10 out of 9, 11 some- 

 times anastomosing with 12, sometimes with 10 also, rarely run- 

 ning into 12. Hind wings with 3 and 4 sometimes stalked, 6 and 



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

 rapidly diverging. 



Apparently a development of Megaloehlora. The 

 species are very numerous, and occur principally in the 

 Indo-Malayan, Australian, and African regions ; but a 

 certain number are found in Europe and North America.

 Face smooth. Palpi moderate, porrected, rough-scaled. An- 

 tennae in (? bipectinated, towards apex simple. Thorax densely 

 hairy beneath. Femora hairy ; posterior tibi;e in J somewhat 

 dilated, sometimes with large tuft in groove, with all spurs present. 

 Fore wings with 10 out of 9. Hind wings with 6 and 7 separate, 



8 nearly approximated to cell towards base, diverging from before

An East Asiatic genus, which will probably be in- 

 creased by future discoveries. It is a transitional form 

 between Eiicldoris and Pseudoterpna.
