71. Deileptenia, Hh. 



Face loosely haired or with appressed scales. Tongue developed. 

 Palpi moderate, siibasceiiding, shortly rough-scaled. Antennfe in 

 (? bipectinated, apex simple. Thorax with low double posterior 

 crest, hairy beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibiae in ^ not 

 dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in 3' without fovea ; 

 11 out of 10 near base, sometimes anastomosing with 12. Hind 

 wings with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



This small genus, to which I can only refer the 

 following species, originates from Selidosema, from which 

 it only differs essentially by the absence of the fovea, 

 which has apparently become obsolete.

72. Cleora, Curt. 

 Face with tolerably appressed scales. Tongue developed. Palpi 

 moderate, porrected, rough-scaled. Antennae in ^ bipectinated to 

 apex. Thorax hairy beneath. Femora nearly glabrous ; posterior 

 tibiffi in (^ not dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in ^ 

 with fovea ; 10 connected or anastomosing with 9. Hind wings 

 with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



The single species constituting this genus is an off- 

 shoot of Selidosema, and is confined to Europe.

73. Selidosema, Hh. 

 Face with appressed or shortly projecting scales or small tuft. 

 Tongue developed. Palpi moderate, porrected or subascending, 

 rough-scaled. Antennae in S bipectinated, towards apex simple. 

 Thorax sometimes shortly crested posteriorly, hairy beneath. 

 Femora glabrous or rarely somewhat hairy beneath ; posterior 

 tibiae in 3' dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in 3 with 

 fovea ; 10 sometimes connected with 9, 11 sometimes out of 10 

 near base only, or if separate, sometimes anastomosing with 12. 

 Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



A genus of considerable extent, and universally dis- 

 tributed. It is probably derived from Synopsia.
