48 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Antenna in both sexes dentate, shortly ciliated. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia 
in cf not dilated, in both sexes with four well-developed spurs 1r). Abdomen not crested. Hindwing in 
both sexes with pronounced basal expansion, yet with frenulum persisting, though slender in the Cf. 
Forewing broad, costa ached at base, then rather straight, apex acute, but not produced, termen 
waved, little oblique in anterior half, cell nearly one-half, DC somewhat incurved, SC! from cell, 
anastomosing with C, SC? from stalk of SC* (its base very slender), anastomosing with SC!, R! separate, 
R? considerably above middle, M! separate; hindwing with apex rounded, termen somewhat crenulate, 
inner margin slightly elongate, cell nearly one-half, DC somewhat curved, € approximated to cell to 
nearly one-half, then diverging, SC? separate, R? from close to R!, M! separate. 
Early stages unknown. 
Another slightly intermediate genus between Groups II and V; yet here it js the c frenulum 
which has progressed most towards the latter, whereas in Pseudoterpna it is the Q.

Gnophosema, nov. gen. lrout. 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus rather short, second joint densely scaled beneath, third 
joint small concealed (Q unknown). Tongue wanting. Antenna in cf moderately stout, with longish 
pectinations, extreme apex nearly simple. Pectus and femora somewhat hairy. Hindtibia in c not 
dilated, with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not appreciably crested. Frenulum in c developed, but 
with slight costal expansion. Wings shaped as in Pseudoterpna ; forewing with cell one-half, DC incurved, 
SC! from cell, free or anastomosing with C, SC? stalked to beyond SC^, M! approximated to R?; hind- 
wing with cell about one-half, DC slightly incurved, C approximated to cell to about one-half, rapidly 
diverging, SC? short-stalked with R!, R? from somewhat above middle of DC, M! connate.

1) Turner refers to absence of inner terminal spur in &?, which betokens either one of the rare cases of individual variability or a spur lost 
through some injury. We have only seen two males, but they both have the terminal spurs fully developed
