118 Mr. E. Me^Ticlv on the classification of 



102. Therapis, Hb. 



Face prominent beneath, with slightly projecting scales. Tongue 

 developed. Palpi moderately long, porrected, rough-scaled. An- 

 tennae in ^ bipectinated, apex simple. Thorax slightly hairy 

 beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior tibise in ^ not dilated, with 

 all spurs present. Fore wings in $ without fovea ; 10 and 11 free. 

 Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



Probably a development of either Crocota or Pscudo- 

 pantliera. The single species inhabits South-east Europe. 

 Jiavicaria, Hb. 



103. Hypoplectis, Hb. 

 Face with appressed scales. Tongue developed. Palpi short, 

 porrected, rough-scaled. Antennie in ^ bipectinated to apex. 

 Thorax somewhat hairy beneath. Femora glabrous ; posterior 

 tibiae in ^ slightly dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in 

 S' without fovea ; 10 anastomosing or connected with 12 and 9, 11 

 absent. Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to middle. 



The single species, which ranges through most of the 

 European region, is an offshoot of Crocota. 

 adspeisaria, Hb. 



104. Crocota, Hb. 

 Face more or less rounded-prominent or nearly flat, with tolerably 

 appressed scales. Tongue develoj^ed. Palpi moderate or rather 

 short, porrected or ascending, rough-scaled or sometimes hairy. 

 Antennae in ^ bipectinated to apex. Thorax hairy beneath. 

 Femora glabrous or sometimes hairy ; posterior tibiae in ^ moder- 

 ately or hardly dilate:!, with all spurs present. Fore wings in ^ 

 without fovea ; 10 verj' rarely out of 9, usually connected or 

 anastomosing with 9, 11 rarely out of 10 {formosaria), usually 

 connected or anastomosing with 12, occasionally with 10 also. 

 Hind wings with 6 and 7 rarely stalked (ochrearia, curvaria), 

 8 approximated t.) cell to middle. Feinale sometimes semi- 

 apterous or apterous. 



The genus is characteristic of the European region, 

 though stragglers occur elsewhere. It is probably de- 

 rived from Biston.
