further from the base, the inner line also being 

 broader. The under side of the male is also differently 

 coloured. 



Spalykia, n. g. 



S' . Wings short, broad, ample, lanuginose. Fore wing almost 

 straight to near the a^^ex ; exterior margin almost erect, posterior 

 margin long ; cell extending to one-third the wing ; first subcostal 

 emitted at one-sixth before end of the cell, second trifid, third 

 thrown off from below second at one-half, and the fourth at one- 

 fifth from the base ; fifth emitted from end of the cell ; disco- 

 cellular bent outward near upper end, lower end concave, radial 

 from the upper angle ; middle median emitted at one-fifth and 

 lower at one-half before end of the cell ; submedian with a slender 

 lower basal branch. Hind wing with the costal margin extending 

 to posterior angle of fore wing ; exterior margin very convex ; cell 

 one-third the wing ; two subcostals on a footstalk at a short 

 distance beyond end of the cell ; disco-cellular bent outward near 

 upper end, lower end very long and outwardly oblique, radial from 

 upper angle ; middle median at one-fourth and lower at one-half 

 before end of the cell. Body very woolly ; antennae bipectinated 

 to tip in male, serrated in female ; palpi short, thick ; legs densely

Fore wing comparatively shorter in the male, longer in the 

 female, and less triangular in form than in the corresponding sexes 

 of Eupterote. Fore wing with first subcostal from near end, 

 second quadrifid ; cell short, less than one-third length of the 

 wing ; disco-cellular bent in the middle ; two i;pper medians from 

 contiguous angles at end of the cell, lower at beyond one-third 

 before the end. Hind wing with short triangular cell ; disco- 

 cellular very oblique, bent acutely near upper end below the radial ; 

 lower median at nearly one-half and middle median at one-sixth 

 before end of the cell.
