Ochsenheimer's Genera of the Lepidoptera of Europe. 195 



Palpi very short, porrect, horizontal, triarticulate, not very 

 robust, clothed with elongate scales, the terminal joint 

 concealed ; the basal joint nearly as long as the second, a 

 little bent, the second more slender than the first, slightly 

 curved, and narrowed towards the tip ; terminal joint 

 ovate, obtuse : maxillce shorter than the antennae. 



Head small, M'ith a dense tuft of hair between the antennae : 

 eyes small, naked. 



Thorax stout, pilose, with an abbreviated dorsal tuft towards 

 the front. 



Body generally depressed, with the sides and apex considera- 

 bly tufted. 



Larva naked, or slightly hairy : pupa subterranean *. 

 Treitschke divides this genus into three families. 



Fam. a. — Larva naked, variegated. 



Fam. B. — Larva hairy, dark coloured. 



Fam. C— Larva naked, body dark coloured, with generally 

 lighter longitudinal lines. 

 Both Stephens and Curtis have very properly restored Hiib- 



ner's name, Gleea, to this genus, which Treitschke, for some 



unknown reason, has thought fit to change to Cerastis, a term 



already employed to designate a serpent.
