122 Mr. E. Mcyrick on the classification of 



rou,£:^h-liaii-e(l or rouj,'h-seaIeJ. Antenngein $ stronpjly bipectinated 

 to apex, or with apex simple. Tliorax densely liaired above, with 

 slight loose anterior crest, beueath densely hairy. Femora densely 

 hairy ; posterior tibiae hairy, with median spurs very short or 

 absent, in ^ not dilated. Fore wings in ^ without fovea ; 10 

 usually connected or anastomosing with 9, 11 usually out of 10, 

 rarely free or absent. Hind wings with 8 approximated to cell to 

 middle. 



Probably this may be derived from a form approaching 

 Phaselia. The species are not numerous ; besides the 

 following, there are a few in India and Africa.

112. Spartopteryx, Gn. 



Palpi short. Antennae in ^ bipectinated to apex. Posterior 

 tibiae with all jspurs present. Female semiapterous, ante lor wings 

 linear. 



I have not seen the single Siberian species which con- 

 stitutes this genus, and can only give the above-men- 

 tioned fragmentary details from Guenee. I conjecture, 

 however, that it is probably a good genus, and allied to 

 the ancestral form of Phaselia. 



*serrularia, Ld. {=kindernianniria, Stgr.). 



113. Phaselia, Gn. 



Face with tolerably appressed scales. Tongue obsolete. Palpi 

 very short, porrected, rough-scaled. Antennae in both sexes bi- 

 pectinated to apex. Thorax with loose lateral and posterior crests, 

 beneath densely hairy. Femora glabrous ; p;)sterior tibiae witliout 

 median spurs, in ^ not dilated. Fore wings in J without fovea; 

 10 connected with 9. Hind wings with 8 r.pproximat; d to cell to 

 middle. 



JJoubtless a development from the Prosopiloplia grou[), 

 but the actual point of connection seems uncertiiin. The 

 genus seems attached to South-east J-^uropc and South- 

 west Asia.
