 of the Ijcpidoptera of Europe; mth a List of the Species 

 of each Genus, and Reference to one or more of their respec-

Legs, gressorial ; second and third pair with the tibia armed 



with long, stout spines, terminated by a very fine point. 

 Wings triangular, margins crenate. 



AnteniicE filiform, pectinated ; pectinations extremely short. 

 Body rather stout ; thorax densely pilose ; back with a separate 



tuft of hair on each segment, except the last, forming a 



crest down the middle; abdomcii iermmat^d by a tuft of 



hairs. 

 Larva naked, with a small head ; body tapering towards the 



hinder part ; the last segment tuberculated.

Genus 54. HADENA, Schrank. 



Wings deflexed; body with tufts of hair on the back, forming 

 a longitudinal crest; (as in the preceding genus;) poste- 

 riorly gibbous. 



Lnrvce various : Pui^a subterranean. Treitschke has subdi- 

 vided this genus into four families, founded (except the 

 second) on certain markings on the anterior wings, not, 

 however, sufficiently definite or constant to afford good 



lines 



• NiENiA, Staph. 



" Palpi ratlier long, porrcct, ascending, triarticulatc, the two basal joints 

 clothed with elongate capitate scales, terminating in an acute point 

 anteriorly, at the apex ot the second joint, af)ical joint slcnilcr, elon- 

 gate, ex()osed, covered with alihreviated scales; basal joint of C(jiial 

 length with the terminal, and slightly bent, the second nearly as long 

 again, more slender than the first, a little attenuated at the a|)ex; ter- 

 minal linear, very slender, slightly acuminated : maxilla: longer than the 

 anteinia;. Antenna! short, slender in the females, ciliated internally
