73. GENUS SYNCHLORA, GUENÉE 
Synchlora. Guenée, Spec. Gén. Lép. Vol. 9. p. 375 (1858); Hulst, Trans. Xmer. Ent. Soc. Vol. 23, 
p. 314 (1896).

Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus with second joint rather long, especially in Q9, slightly 
rough-scaled beneath, third joint in C short, in 9 long or very long, smooth-scaled. Tongue present. 
Antenna in cf bipectinate with rather long branches, apical one-third (or more) nearly simple; in 
minutely subserrate. Pectus hairy. Femora very slightly hairy Hindtibia in cf dilated with hair-pencil 
and rather long terminal process, in both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in both 
sexes present, from before well-marked basal expansion. Forewing with costa nearly straight, or very 
slightly arched, apex pronounced, termen straight, or very slightly curved, oblique, cell nearly one- 
half, DC more or less curved, SC! free or anastomosing with C, SC? normal, R! about connate, 
M! separate; hindwing with termen smooth, more or less rounded, tornus pronounced, cell rather 
short, C anastomosing to nearly (sometimes fully) one-half. cell, 3C? long-stalked, M! connate, 
approximated or shortly stalked. cf genitalia with uncus bifid, widely divided, gnathos strong and 
pointed, harpe simple, penis pestillate, with two thorns, one at each side of origin of cdeeagus; 
coremata present. 
Ecc. — Elliptical, strongly flattened on two sides, the flat faces concave; side view slightly 
wedge-shaped, the broader end truncate roundly; surface all finely. hexagonally reticulate; pale, 
slightly greenish yellow, shining, turning pale red later (Dvar, PsycAe, Vol. 9, p. 93, on aerata — glau- 
caria). 
LaRva. — Head rounded, biiobed (scarcely so in fourth stadium), shagreened or granulated ; 
body (at least in the later stadia) short and thick, surface strongly granulated, without protuberances, 
but with the tubercles angularly elevated; setze mostly small. in first stage with flattened enlarged tips; 
in first stage seta IIT of second abdominal and 1V of third—sixth is highlv specialized, long and sticky, 
with bulbous tip; in later stadia the tubercle itself is enlarged, radiately spinose, sticky, in the fourth 
stage tubercle II of the ninth abdominal is similarly specialized. To the sticky setze or tubercles the 
larva attaches fragments of the flowers on which it feeds (asters), thereby concealing itself (Dyar, 
loc. cit., on aerata, the four stadia fully described). SyacAlora denticularia has similar habits, using frag- 
ments of the leaves of its foodplants (Solidago. etc.); see Dyar, Ent. News, Vol. 5, p. 62. 
Pura. — Pale brown, with blackish dorsal line, and more or less dark-marked throughout 
, [-] 
(Dyar, Ent. News, Vol. 5, p. 62, on denticularia). 
A compact genus, distinguished from Section 1I of RachkeosPila by the stronger and more fixed 
anastomosis of C of the hindwing and by the loss of the vestigial crests; also superficially by the 
absence of the red marginal coloration which seems constant in that group. We suspect that Zesteraria, 
Grossbeck, with which we are unacquainted, will prove to be a RacAeospila, Hulst having incorporated 
Section IT of the last-named into Syachlora. The larval habit suggests a close relationship with 
r) Packard during the same year published two independent — indeed in some respects conflicting — diagnoses of Juzemorra. The first 
publication, in the Report cited above, was in July, according to the printed date in Packard's own separatum, kindly supplied to us by Mr. J. A. Gross- 
beck ; this was for the sole species (therefore type) gxaci/aria, Packard, a synonym of aera£a, Fabricius. The later Eunenoria, Proc. Bost. Noc. Aat. 
Hist. Vol. 16, p. 3o(November or — according to Packard's separate — December), erected with the species z»ffaria and £ricoloraria (ligworaria, 
Guenée) has therefore no possible standing. Packard himself realized this in preparing his « Monograpl/», where he states |p. 380) that Fweroria was 
purely a synonym of SyncAZora Q, and creates (p. 375) a new genus .d»emort£a for u»ifaría.
