76. BUPALUS, Leach. 



Face with rough hairs or sometimes only loosely haired. Tongue 

 developed. Palpi moderate or rather short, porrected, with rough 

 projecting hairs. Antennae in ^ bipectinated, apex simple. Thorax 

 hairy beneath. Femora hairy or glabrous ; posterior tibiae in $ 

 not dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in ^ with fovea ; 

 10 often connected or anastomosing with 9 (sometimes twice), 11 

 usually out of 10, always running into 12 or concealed by anastom- 

 osis of 10 with 12 and so apparently absent. Hind wings with 8 

 approximated to cell to middle. 



A small genus, characteristic of Europe, originating 

 from Selidosema.

77. Narraga, Walk. 



Face with appressed scales. Tongue weak. Palpi moderate, 

 poi'rected, with long rough projecting hairs. Antennae in ^ bi- 

 pectinated to apex. Thorax rather hairy beneath. Femora 

 glabrous ; posterior tibiae in $ hardly dilated, with all spurs 

 present. Fore wings in ^ with fovea ; 10 anastomosing or con- 

 nected with 12 and 9, 11 absent. Hind wings with 6 and 7 stalked, 

 8 anastomosing with cell from near base to middle. 



The single species, inhabiting South-east Europe, is a 

 development of Bupalus. The structure of vein 8 of the 

 hind wings is unique in this family, and is probably a 

 direct effect of the narrowing of the hind wings, which 

 has also caused the stalking of 6 and 7.

78. Tephronia, HI). 



Face with appressed scales. Tongue weak. Palpi very short, 

 slender, porrected, second joint rough-scaled. Antenna; in ^ bi- 

 pectinated, towards apex simple. Thorax somewhat hairy beneath. 

 Femora glabrous ; posterior tibitc in ^ somewhat dilated, median 

 spurs in both sexes absent or present {codetaria). Fore wings in
