Venation as described for the group except that in the hind wing 

 vein 5 is always present and stalked with 4. 



Female genitalia (pi. 9, figs. 14, 15) with simple anterior genital 

 plate and with shallow cupules beyond either end, these cupules fused 

 to anterior margin of ostium bursae plate; ostium bursae plate sepa- 

 rate from anterior genital plate and notched mesially (not bilobed) 

 on posterior margin; eighth sternum without posterior genital plate; 

 bursa copulatrix armed internally with a large circlet of clawlike 

 spines and this circlet of spines well below opening of ductus bursae; 

 bursa copulatrix subspherical, not much longer than broad and with a 

 single denticulate platelike signum near or slightly below middle. 



Comparative remarks. — This genus is related to Cincia and Ampli- 

 cincia and differs chiefly in having the internal circlet of spines of the 

 bursa copulatrix large and placed well below the opening of ductus 

 bursae. It differs also in having the ostium bursae plate separate 

 from the anterior genital plate and not fused as in Cincia and Ampli- 

 cincia. 



Included in this genus are Paracincia butleri, new species, and Para- 

 cincia dognini, new species. 



KEY TO THE SPECIES OF PARACINCIA 

 1. Female with anterior genital plate folded inward from surface of seventh 



sternum below ostium bursae and forming a lobe butleri, new species 



Female with anterior genital plate not folded inward, placed on surface of
