  the 
  Pyraustinae 
  will 
  require 
  the 
  extensive 
  use 
  of 
  genitalic 
  characters. 
  

   To 
  avoid 
  needless 
  repetition 
  in 
  generic 
  diagnoses, 
  characters 
  common 
  to 
  

   those 
  treated 
  here 
  are 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  Antenna 
  simple, 
  slightly 
  annulate. 
  

   Maxillary 
  palpus 
  minute. 
  Labial 
  palpus 
  upturned, 
  first 
  segment 
  

   rather 
  heavily 
  scaled 
  below, 
  fringelike, 
  the 
  scales 
  projected 
  distally; 
  

   second 
  segment 
  moderately 
  scaled 
  below 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  similar 
  projection; 
  

   third 
  segment 
  porrect, 
  without 
  such 
  fringe 
  or 
  projection. 
  Forewing 
  

   (pi.

  with 
  vein 
  la 
  running 
  into 
  vein 
  lb 
  near 
  middle 
  (often 
  

   difficult 
  to 
  distinguish 
  except 
  in 
  denuded 
  or 
  cleared 
  material) 
  ; 
  vein 
  3 
  

   from 
  slightly 
  before 
  angle 
  of 
  cell 
  ; 
  veins 
  4 
  and 
  5 
  separate 
  ; 
  vein 
  7 
  from 
  

   cell, 
  slightly 
  curved 
  and 
  approximate 
  to 
  vein 
  8, 
  9 
  for 
  about 
  one-sixth 
  

   its 
  length; 
  veins 
  8 
  and 
  9 
  stalked. 
  Hind 
  wing 
  (pi. 
  6, 
  fig. 
  7A) 
  with 
  cell 
  

   long, 
  extending 
  to 
  about 
  middle 
  of 
  wing; 
  vein 
  3 
  from 
  slightly 
  before 
  

   angle 
  of 
  cell 
  ; 
  veins 
  4 
  and 
  5 
  separate 
  ; 
  vein 
  6 
  from 
  upper 
  angle 
  of 
  cell, 
  

   often 
  anastomosed 
  with 
  7 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  distance; 
  vein 
  7 
  anastomosing 
  

   with 
  vein 
  8 
  for 
  some 
  distance 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell. 
  Hind

  with 
  two
