138 T. B. FleTTlier on the genus Dmtci'ocopus. 
of D. 2 ')laneta, is noteworthy. On tlie same bush I found 
a larva feeding inside an unopened flower-bud ; it appeared 
to be very similar to that of but wanted the 
terminal red suffusion ; unfortunately I failed to rear it, 
Leptodeuterocopus, n. g. 
Labial palpi long, smooth-scaled, erect, sickle-shaped. Abdomen 
rather short and stout. Legs strong ; posterior tibiae with tufts of 
Fig. 7.—Lept. citrogaster. 
spinous hairs at about 4 and apex, second and third tufts each 
emitting a pair of long spurs. Forewing cleft from about f ; first 
segment rather narrow, without hinder-angle ; second segment ex¬ 
panded posteriorly, again cleft from about of its length. Hindwiug 
cleft from about ^ and |; second segment with a slight scale-tuft 
about centre of its hinder-margin ; third segment with a large scale- 
tooth surrounding its apex and a small scale-tooth on dorsal margin 
nearer the base. 
Type :— L. citrogaster. 
The two species described below are readily separable 
by the following character;— 
Dorsal cilia of f.w. with a large white pi’etornal patch . sochchoraides 
Dorsal cilia of f.w. without a large white pretornal patch citrogaster 
The slightly different shape of the second cleft in these 
species may indicate a generic difference; otherwise they 
appear very closely allied, agreeing with one another and 
differing from Dcuterocopus, in the different positions of 
the scale-tufts on hind tibiae, the less deeply cleft hind¬ 
wing, etc.
