G2. Geometra, L. 



Face smooth. Palpi moderate or short, subascending, shortly 

 rough-scaled. AntenuEe in <? bipectinatedto apex. Thorax hairy 

 beneath. Femora hairy or glabrous ; posterior tibiae in <? not 

 dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings with 10 out of 9, 11 

 sometimes anastomosing with 12 and 10. Hind wings with 6 and 

 7 separate, 8 approximated to cell towards base, diverging from 

 before middle. 



A development of Pseudoterpna, with near collateral 

 relationship to the preceding. It is not ascertained to 

 contain other species than those subjoined. 



miiscosa, Butl. (= vestita, Hed.). 

 papilionaria, L. 



63. Agathia, Gn. 



Face smooth. Palpi moderately long, porrected, shortly rough- 

 scaled. Antennae in ^ fihform, minutely ciHated. Thorax densely 

 hairy beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibiae in ^ sometimes 

 dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings with 10 out of 9. 

 Hind wings with G and 7 separate, 8 anastomosing with or closely 

 approximated to cell towards base, thence rapidly diverging. 



A small Indo- Malayan genus, of which one or two 

 species extend into the adjoining regions. It originates 

 from Pseudoterpna, with some affinity to the preceding 

 genus, but stands rather isolated. 



carissinia, Butl. (= lacunaria, Hed.). 



64. Pseudoterpna, Hh. 



Face smooth. Palpi moderate, porrected or subascending, rough- 

 scaled. Antennae in (^ bipectinated, towards apex simple. Thorax 

 densely hairy beneath. Abdomen with dorsal crests. Femora 

 glabrous or hairy beneath ; posterior tibiae in 3" somewhat dilated, 

 often containing hair-pencil, with all spurs pi'esent. Fore wings 

 with 10 out of 9, 11 sometimes anastomosing with 12 and 10. 

 Hind wings with (5 and 7 separate, 8 closely approximated to cell 

 towards base, diverging from about middle. 



A genus of some extent, which is principally Indo- 

 Malayan and Australian ; it includes Guenee's Ilfipo- 

 chroma. It may be regarded as practically the ancestral 

 type of the family, and certainly originates from some
