154 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Il08. GENUS ERETMOPUS, TURNER 
Eretmopus. Turner, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 35. p. 588 (19ro). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus moderate to longish. second joint rough-scaled, third 
joint smooth, in g* moderate, in Q elongate. Tongue developed. Antenna well over one-half, in c 
bipectinate to beyond one-half, the pectinations nearly as in T/alassodes. apical part nearly simple, 
very shortly ciliated; in Q very shortly ciliated. Pectus densely hairy. Hindtibia in cf. much dilated, 
hairy and with dense tufts of floccous hair, all spurs wanting, hindtarsus aborted, flattened, densely 
rough-scaled (Pl. 5b, Fig. 20); hindtibia in Q with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested. Fre- 
nulum in gf moderately strong, but not long. and arising from before basal expansion; in 9 wanting. 
Forewing with costa shouldered at base, then straight, well arched near apex, apex moderate, termen 
nearly straight, oblique, tornus pronounced, cell somewhat less than one-half, DC? incurved or inangled, 
SC! free, SC? normal, R! longish-stalked, R? from much above middle of DC, M! connate or approxi- 
mated; hindwing with apex squared, termen convex, weakly elbowed at R?, tornus squared, cell short, 
DC? oblique, sinuous, C closely approximated to cell to nearly one-half, then rapidly diverging, 
SC? rather long-stalked, R* from very near R!, M! shortly stalked (sometimes very shortly). 
Early stages unknown. 
A near relative of the preceding genus, differing in the leg structure in both sexes and in the 
somewhat less oblique discocellulars of hindwing. The position of R*, especially in the hindwing, is 
also more extreme.

Tongue present. Antenna in gf bipectinate, with moderate to longish branches, apex nearly simple; 
in 9 nearly simple. Pectus moderately hairy. Femora nearly glabrous. Hindtibia in &' sometimes dilated 
with hair-pencil, in both sexes with all spurs; c very exceptionnally with a slight terminal process, of no 
generic significance. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in gf present, slender, arising from before basa]

waved), oblique, cell somewhat less than one-half, DC curved SC! nearly always from cell, free, or
