margin and with a second pair of bristles arising from just above 

 middle of dorsolateral margin of subsegment and with a single sen- 

 sory cone arising from near the middle of front margin. 



Venation of forewing with vein 2 from outer fourth of cell, nearly 

 straight, not downward curved at base; vein 3 separate from just 

 before lower angle of cell (3 very rarely stalked with 4) ; 4 from 

 lower angle and 4 and 5 separate ; 6 from below upper angle of cell ; 

 9 from stalk of 7 and 8; 10 and 11 free; 10 from cell about halfway 

 between stem of 7, 8, and 9 and base of 11 ; 11 from outer third of 

 cell and curved distally toward 12. 



Venation of hindwing with 2 from outer fourth of cell; 3 stalked 

 with 4 from lower angle of cell ; 5 separate and from just below middle 

 of cell ; 6 and 7 stalked from upper angle of cell ; 8 from about middle 

 or slightly after middle of cell. 



Male genitalia (see all figures on pis. 41-43 and figs. 13-17 on pi. 45) 

 with uncus hooklike, broad at base and sharply constricted and curved 

 distally; gnathos absent; anellus present (dorsal plates absent) and 

 represented by a strongly sclerotized, nearly H-shaped juxta ; vinculum 

 broadly U-shaped; inner surface of harpe with downward-projecting 

 lobe from near middle (this lobe sometimes fingerlike or hooklike) 

 except in icterinus; saccus very small; aedeagus broader posteriorly 

 than anteriorly and bent or at least curved near middle ; vesica armed 

 with numerous spinelike cornuti; bulbus ejaculatorius from about 

 anterior fourth or fifth of aedeagus. 



Female genitalia (see all figures on pi. 44 and figs. 11 and 12 on 

 pi. 45) with pouch between posterior margin of seventh abdominal 

 segment and anterior margin of eighth abdominal segment; seventh 

 abdominal segment sometimes strongly sclerotized above this pouch, 

 sometimes so much so that the pouch is more like a lip than a pouch ; 

 strongly sclerotized species with a pair of lateral lateroventral cup- 

 like shallow pouches on seventh segment, lying on each side of raised 

 central area ; eighth segment not at all or only weakly sclerotized ven- 

 trally, never forming a solid ventral plate, but with a plate that is 

 broken through the middle; ostium bursae before middle of eighth 

 segment ; ductus bursae heavily sclerotized, broad at ostium bursae and 

 somewhat twisted and narrowed at bursa copulatrix ; entrance to bursa 

 copulatrix armed with a furcate plate, this plate inwardly covered 

 with short spines ; bursa copulatrix with ductus seminalis from right 

 side or slightly dorsal and near ductus bursae ; bursa copulatrix sub- 

 spherical, slightly bent and extended to the left and with a ribbonlike 

 scobinate plate at anterior end. 



C oiwparative reinarks. — This genus is somewhat related to Mulona 

 Walker and Gaudeator Dyar. Vein 2 of forewing is nearly straight, 

 not at all downward curved at base in Gaudeator and Epeirormdona^
