* Hypercompa, Hiibn.? Steph. 

 " Palpi very short, ascending, pilose, triarticnlate, the terminal joint ex- 

 posed j the basal joint tumid at the apex, as long as the second, ter- 

 minal short, ovate: w;«a:'!7/rf.' considerably longer than the head. .,471- 

 tennca simple, ciliated in both sexes : head small, clothed with short, 

 compact hair : thorajc and abdomen not very stout, covered with close, 

 short, velvety |)ile : wings deflexed, densely squamous ; the anterior 

 elongate-trigonate : legs robust, squamous. Larva with fascicles of 

 hairs down the sides : pupa smooth, with a spine at the apex, inclosed 

 in a loose web on the ground." — Steph. Iltusl. Brit. Juit. Ilauxt. II. p. i'u. 



Both sexes, Stephens adds, of Hypercompa, are remarkable for having 

 the antenna; simple and ciliated, and are readily distinguished from 

 all the other Arctiid;e by their cioni;atcd niaxilla.% which are much 

 longer than the head, and spirally, but irregularly twisted.— -S/tyj/i. /. c.
