* Petasia, Steph.* 

 " Palpi short, compressed, straight, very hairy, biarticulate, the terminal 

 joint ovate, subacute : maxillcs nearly obsolete. Antennce elongated, 

 bipectinated to the apex in the males, subserrated and ciliated in the 

 females : head moderate, hairy, with two fascicles of elongate scales 

 at the base of each antenna: thorax not crested; abdomen slightly 

 elongated, scarcely tufted at the apex : anterior wings elongate, entire, 

 with a patch of elongate scales in the middle of the interior edge : 

 posterior subovate: breast zwA femora very downy; anterior tibia: with 

 a compressed lobe internally; and an acute, bent, glossy spine ex- 

 teriorly; the posterior tibice with spurs at the apex. Larva naked,

 " Palpi conspicuous, ascending, slender, triarticulate ; the two basal joints 

 clothed with elongate scales, the apical joint considerably exposed, 

 covered with short scales, linear, and as long as the basal one, which 

 is slightly bent and more robust than the second ; the latter is about 

 one half as long again as the first, slightly attenuated towards the apex: 

 viaxUlcB moderate. Anteniue very short, rather stout, sim])le in both

Although we have already given the genus Hadcna (the 54th of 

 Treitschke's arrangement), we shall add in this place the characters as- 

 signed to it by Stepliens, which had not appeared when that part of our 

 abstract containing this genus w:« published. 



Hadena. " Palin short, rather slender, slightly ascending, clothed with hair 

 and scales, triarticulate; terminal joint rather exposed, short, sub- 

 ovate; the basal joint curved, in general rather shorter and stouter 

 than the second, which is a little attenuated towards the apex; ter- 

 minal subovate, obliquely truncate : maxillcB about the length of the 

 antennae. Antenncc short, rather stout, in general simple, with the 

 under side ciliated in the males, or obscurely subserrate, with a di- 

 stinct fasciculus of hair on each joint within : head small, with a dense 

 frontal crest ; tijcs large, globose, sometimes pubescent : thorax 

 slightly crested : body stout, rather elongate, very acute in some fc- 



males :
