Anfennce simple in both sexes, ciliated beneath in the males. 



Palpi ascending, compressed, parallel, triarticulate, the two 

 basal joints clothed with very compact capitate scales, 

 terminating acutely in front, the apical somewhat ex- 

 posed ; the basal joint shorter than the following, and 

 curving upwards ; the second as long as the other two, 

 a little bent inwards towards the apex ; the terminal short, 

 rather slender, somewhat attenuated at the tip, which is 

 obtuse : maxilla; very long. 



• Semiophora^, Steph. 

 " Falpi short, very hairy at the base, the terminal joint exposed and scaly; 

 triarticulate, the basal joint slightly bent, stout, not half as long as 

 the second, which is elongate, slightly attenuated, the terminal one 

 minute, ovate, subtruncate : maxilla; as long as the antennae. Antennce 

 bipectinated in the males, serrated in the females, each joint producing 

 a bristle on both sides : head small, pilose : thorax stout, woolly, not 

 crested : body not very stout, short : wings entire, slightly deflcxed, 

 anterior elongate, narrowed at the base, rather acute at the ti[), po- 

 sterior abbreviated, subtrigonate : legs ihoxt: femora yiooWy. iMrva

 II. p. 1.18. 

 Stc|)hens adds that this genus differs from riraiihiphora and Agrotis by 



the woolliness of its smooth thorax, the brevity of the posterior wings, and 



by reposing with the anterior ones dcffexed.
