than the second, the terminal ovate, or cylindric : maxilltE short. 

 Antennce rather long, slender, bipectinated in the males, serrated in 

 the females, the serrations and pectinations terminated by a fine bristle : 

 kead small, pilose : thorax stout, densely pilose : abdomen robust, tufted 

 at the apex in both sexes, transversely streaked or spotted: whigs 

 deflexed, denselv scal\-, elongate-trigonate : legs short, femora very pi- 

 lose : anterior tibics with a compressed lobe. Larvce solitary, cj'lindric, 

 thickly clotiied with elongate fascicles of hair, each fascicle arising from 

 a tubercle; when touched roll themselves into a ring : inqm rather 

 elongate, with a spine at the apex, inclosed in a loose, extended web ; 

 e^gs naked, deposited with regularity." — Steph. Illust. Brit. Ent. 

 Haust. II. p. G9. 

 The colours of the Arcti^e, Stephens adds, are lively and brilliant, and 

 the indi\'iduals of this genus are distinguished from those of the 

 genera Euthemonia, and Nemeophila, by their robust thorax and 

 abdomen, and the transverse stripes, or longitudinal spots of the lat- 

 ter; they have also the basal joint of the palpi longer than the second, 

 and the antennae rather elongated. — Step/i. I. c. 

 * Phragmatobia", Steph. 



Palpi short, very hairy, triarticulate, the basal joint the length of the 

 second, and stouter; the terminal shortest, and ovate, obtuse : maxUlcB 

 rather spiral. AntenruB short, serrated, simple in the female, ciliated 

 in both sexes : kead very small, pilose : thorax stout, woolly : abdomen 

 rather stout in both sexes, tufted at the apex in the males, acute and 

 smooth in the females : wings deflexed, subdia[)hanous ; the anterior 

 elongate, trigonate : legs stout : anterior tibia: with a spine internally ; 

 two posterior pair with spurs at the apex. Larva very hairy : jmpa 

 with a slight spine, foUiculated." 

 " The abbreviated nearly simple antennae in both sexes, robust thorax 

 and abdomen, the latter spotted, and semi-transparent elongate, tri- 

 angular wings, well distinguish this genus; to these may be added the 

 characters of the palpi, which have the basal joint as long as the se- 

 cond, and stouter, with the terminal very short and ovate." — Steph.
