  PSEUDALYPIA, 
  nOV. 
  gCU. 
  

  

  Head 
  small, 
  front 
  very 
  long, 
  densely 
  pilose. 
  Clypeus 
  very 
  long, 
  smooth, 
  tri- 
  

   angular, 
  notched 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  in 
  front, 
  and, 
  when 
  viewed 
  from 
  above, 
  concealing 
  

   the 
  palpi, 
  which 
  are 
  short, 
  pilose, 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  longest, 
  the 
  whole 
  palpus 
  

   straight, 
  and 
  shorter 
  than 
  the 
  head. 
  Antennte 
  simple, 
  not 
  thickened 
  as 
  in 
  

   Alypia. 
  Eyes 
  small, 
  not 
  prominent. 
  Tongue 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   body. 
  Thorax 
  pilose, 
  the 
  hairs 
  of 
  patagia 
  especially 
  long. 
  Abdomen 
  short, 
  

   stout, 
  covered 
  with 
  close, 
  glossy 
  pubescence. 
  Abdominal 
  tuft 
  long. 
  Wings 
  

   short 
  and 
  broad. 
  

  

  Primaries, 
  with 
  apical 
  angle 
  much 
  rounded. 
  The 
  nervules 
  are 
  very 
  thick 
  ; 
  

   ueuration 
  similar 
  to 
  Alypia. 
  

  

  Secondaries 
  ample, 
  very 
  much 
  rounded, 
  especially 
  toward 
  the 
  anal 
  angle. 
  

   Fringes 
  of 
  both 
  wings 
  very 
  long. 
  Legs 
  long, 
  only 
  slightly 
  pilose, 
  wanting 
  the 
  

   bunches 
  of 
  hair 
  observable 
  in 
  Alypia 
  ; 
  hind 
  pair 
  with 
  two 
  very 
  nearly 
  equal 
  

   pairs 
  of 
  spines, 
  terminal 
  pair 
  very 
  slightly 
  the 
  shorter. 
  

  

  This 
  genus 
  differs 
  from 
  its 
  near 
  ally, 
  Alypia, 
  by 
  the 
  longer 
  tongue, 
  shorter 
  

   palpi, 
  stouter 
  and 
  more 
  glossy 
  abdomen, 
  simple 
  antenuge, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  

   the 
  dense 
  tufts 
  of 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  fore 
  tibiae. 
  The 
  system 
  of 
  coloration 
  is 
  also 
  

   essentially 
  different 
  ; 
  as 
  in 
  Alypia 
  it 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  spots 
  variously 
  

   arranged, 
  while 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  genus 
  it 
  forms 
  a 
  simple 
  baud, 
  crossing 
  the 
  fore- 
  

   wings 
  near 
  the 
  middle.
