57. GENUS CHLORODES, GuENÉE 
Chlorodes. Guenée, Spec. Gén. Lép. Vol. 9, p. 378 (1858). 
Characters. — lace smooth. Palpus moderate, second joint rough-scaled above and beneath, 
third joint in both sexes small. Tongue present. Antenna about one-half, in cy bipectinate to near apex 
with moderate branches, in Q subserrate, minutely ciliated. Pectus and femora somewhat hairy. 
Hindtibia in cf not dilated, in both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen not crested. lF'renulum present in 
both sexes. Forewing with costa arched distally, apex acute, termen entire, oblique, scarcelv convex, 
tornus rather pronounced, cell about one-half. DC somewhat incurved, SC! from cell, usually anastom- 
osing with C, sometimes also with SC?, SC? normal, R! short-stalked, M! well separate; hindwing with 
costa not shortened, apex rounded, termen subcrenulate, prominent at R!, bluntly toothed at R*, 
tornus roundly produced, cell less than. one-half, DC? slightly oblique, DC? slightly incurved, then 
oblique outwards, C approximated to cell to nearly one-half, rather graduallv diverging, SC? stalked, 
M! just separate. 
Lanva. — With subdorsal processes much as in /Hipparchus, Anisozvga, Lophomachia, etc. (Turner, 
Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 35, p. 626).

Characters. — l'ace smooth. Palpus in cf moderate, second joint moderatelv rough-scaled, 
third joint rather small (in Q?). Tongue developed. Antenna rather short, in cj bipectinate to near apex 
with rather short branches. Pectus hairy. Femora somewhat hairy (?). Hindtibia in c dilated with hair- 
pencil, four rather stout spurs, the terminal rather short, Hindtarsus rather short and thick. Abdomen 
crested. Frenulum developed. Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex moderate, termen curved, 
faintly waved, tornus rather pronounced, cell less than one-half, DC incurved, SC! free, SC? stalked to 
considerably beyond SC*, R! connate or approximated, M' separate; hindwing with apex rounded, 
termen with a slightly projection at R? and a still slighter at R!, rather straight from R? to near tornus, 
tornus produced to a rounded lobe, inner margin rather long, cell short, DC oblique, usually rather 
direct, occasionally with DC? somewhat incurved anteriorly, C approximated to SC in second fourth of 
cell, then rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, R? from near R!, M! separate. 
Early stages unknown. 
Except in the crested abdomen, and the position of SC? of forewing, differs little from the 
preceding and following genera. Its shape differs from both, as does also the dilated hindtibia. From 
Osicosema it is further distinguished by having M! of hindwing separate.
