204 : LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
tinate, apically merely dentate; in Q serrate-dentate. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. Hind- 
tibia in cf not dilated, in both sexes with four strong spurs. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in c very 
slender, from before strong basal expansion, in Q wanting. Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex 
rather acute, termen smooth, nearly straight, oblique, cell nearly one-half, DC? incurved, SC! from 
cell, anastomosing with C, SC? normal, R! separate or very shortly stalked, M! separate; hindwing with 
apex and termen rounded, tornus squared, cell somewhat less than one-half, DC? incurved, not very 
oblique, C anastomosing with cell to beyond one-half, SC? stalked, M! connate or approximated. 
Early stages unknown.

Hierochthonia, nov. gen. Prout. 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in both sexes quite short and slender, terminal joint very 
small. Tongue absent. Antenna in cf bipectinate to apex, the proximal branches rather long; in 9 
shortly bipectinate. Pectus slightly hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in both sexes slender, with 
terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in c slender, from before marked basal expan- 
sion; in gf wanting. Forewing with costa nearly straight proximally, somewhat arched distally, apex 
rather pronounced, termen nearly straight, oblique, cell not quite one-half, DC? somewhat incurved, 
SC! from cell. anastomosing with or running into C, SC? normal, R! about connate, M! just separate. 
Hindwing with apex and termen rounded, tornus not very pronounced, cell almost one-half, rather 
broad, DC? hardly oblique, C anastomosing to near end of cell (in alexandraria only approximated), 
SC? stalked, R? from scarcely above middle of discocellulars, M! short-stalked. 
Early stages unknown.

1) Warren would have united these but that Wallengren mentions an « areole ». Whatever were Wallengren's species (certainly of this 
subfamily), that would be an error of observation, or a divergent use of the term.
