Euproctis faventia, Druce. 



The ciugula is a contiuuous collar fused at tke rear with the 

 tegumen, which is rostrate, rather long and tapering to a 

 blunt point ; the saccus is of but moderate size ; the harpagones 

 have a waved vertical hind margin, developing at the lower 

 margin into a long narrowish toothed frontal tusk, whilst the 

 upper margin forms a still longer and stronger tusk curved in 

 the opposite direction, densely fringed with long hairs and 

 with the shoulder at the rear prominent and sharply and 

 irregularly dentate ; there is a small basal trough with a large 

 rearward saccus-like process supporting the cedoeagus, which 

 is broad, curved, of moderate length, with the vesica but 

 slightly armed with teeth. 



Heracula leonina, Turner. 



This genus is closely related to Etiproclis both structiu'ally 

 and superficially, but the separation made by Moore seems 

 justified by the genitalia, at least. The cingula has a long 

 saccus and is a continuous collar expanding into ample cheeks 

 in the tergite ; the tegumen is copious though narrow in depth, 

 with a large uncal projection precisely the shape in profile of 

 a duck's head, with the addition of slight lateral flanges to 

 the lower part of its bill; the sedoeagal trough is large and 

 asymmetrical at the apex, a deeply hollowed shield closed at 

 the basal end but open and slightly bifurcate at the apex, the 

 one side terminating in a point, whilst the other side of the 

 apex is rovmded, the frontal third below having long hairs; 

 the harpago lying in a central position is roughly wedge-shaped, 

 with a largish, sharply wedge-shaped lower apex deeply 

 recessed above and a quite small upper apex somewhat 

 similar in form; the sedceagus is large, slightly cm-ved, with 

 the vesica large, densely covered with robust spatulate spines, 

 and the apex of the ductus ejaculatorius is also clothed with 

 similar armature. 



Orgyia antiqua, L. 



The genus Orgyia is simpler in its armature ; in comparison 

 with other genera having sub-apterous females it would appear 

 that this special featm-e had afiected the male sexual armatm-e 

 but little, if at all, and it is therefore very interesting to
