* Clostera, Hoffmansegg. Steph. 

 " Palpi short, porrcct, slightly ascending and pilose, triarticiilate, the 

 apical joint minute. AiitemKS short, curved, pectinated to the apex in 

 both sexes, in the males especially, with a fascicle of scales at the base : 

 /wad very minute, concealed beneath the thorax, the latter robust, 

 strongly crested, with a central, coloured, longitudinal patch : abdo- 

 men moderate, the apex suddenly attenuated, with a bifid tuft : wings, 

 anterior elongate, the hinder margin entire, the apex with a more or 

 less discoloured patch ; ;jo«/mor entire; tibiee with spurs. Larva: 

 slightly pilose, with a tubercle on the fourth, and another on the anal 

 segment, posterior legs perfect : ptijiu foUiculated." — Steph. Illust. 

 Brit. Ent. HausteU. II. p. 12. 

 The distinguishing characters between this genus and Pygaera, Stephens 

 states to be tlie brevity of the antennae of the former, which are pectinated 

 in both sexes and distinctly curved ; the form of the thoracic crest, and the 

 longitudinal patch thereon j the deeply inserted, minute head, and the in- 

 tegrity of the posterior margin of the anterior wings. The larva diifers 

 from that of Pygccra in being very slightly jjilose, and in having the fourth 

 and anal segment, tuberculated above. — Steph. 1. c. 



f Pyg-Era, Steph. 

 " Palpi short, porrect, densely pilose, two-jointed, basal joint incurved, 

 second reversed, obtuse. AnfemuB rather long, pectinated in the male, 

 each articulation producing a duplex cilia on each side, the apex sim- 

 ple; setaceous in the female; head small, with a bifid crest at the 

 base of the antenna; : thorax stout, strongly crested, with two elevated 

 lateral strigae : abdomen long, the apex with an undivided tuft : wings, 

 anterior elongate, triangular, the apex with a large, rounded, disco- 

 loured patch, the hinder margin denticulated ; posterior entire : tibia 

 with spurs. Larva cylindric, pilose, without elevated appendages, the 

 anal legs perfect : piij^a subterranean." — Steph. Illust. Brit. Ent. 

 Haustellata, 11. p. 11.
