the more slightly pectinated antennas of the males, and simply ciliated

Demas, Steph. 

 *' Palpi extremely short, enveloped in hair, triarticulate, the basal joints 

 rather stoutest, the second nearly as long again as the preceding, the 

 terminal minute, ovate : maxUlce short, a little spiral. Antenna: rather 

 elongate, acute, slightly bipectinated in the males, ciliated in the fe- 

 males: Zieof/ small, pilose: ^//o;rtj: stout, crested : abdomen moAev-i.ie\y 

 stout, the back with hairy fasciculi ; the apex with a tuft : wings de- 

 flexed, elongate, densely squamous : legs moderate ; /t'?»o;-« and /ii?cs 

 pilose ; the anterior with a large, naked, lobate appendage anteriorly. 

 Larva hairy, with two dorsal tufts, whiskers at the head, and a fas- 

 cicle of hair at the tail : piqm smooth, with an acute termination 

 posteriorly: changes in an ovate cocoon." — Steph. lllust. Brit. Ent.
