we have seen, or of which we can obtain information, have the median spurs (or one at least) persisting 
— an absolutely unique reversal of the general course of evolution of the armature.

167. GENUS IULOPS, NOV. GEN., PROUT 
lulops, nov. gen. Prout. 
Characters, — Face and base of antenna with projecting scales. Palpus rather long, second 
joint long, with long-projecting scales beneath and shortly rough-scaled above, third joint in both sexes 
somewhat elongate, slender. Tongue present. Antenna moderate, in cf with very long pectinations 
to near apex, very suddenly shortening (much as in Ewchloris quantula), in Q very shortly ciliated. 
Pectus and femora hairy. Hindtibia in cf not dilated, somewhat rough-scaled, without median spurs, 
the terminals strong, the inner the longer (in Q doubtless with terminal spurs only) 2). Abdomen 
not crested. Forewing with costa arched, apex moderate, termen rather straight, oblique, cell one- 
half, DC? very oblique posteriorly, SC! from cell, anastomosing with C, usually well removed from SC?, 
SC? normal, R! separate (DC! often quite long), R? usually from very near R!, M! remote at origin 
from R?; hindwing with apex and termen moderately rounded, tornus moderately pronounced, cell 
almost one-half, DC? very oblique posteriorly, C rather shortly approximated to cell near base, rather 
rapidly diverging, SC? connate, R? variable, sometimes rather extreme, oftener little above middle, 
M! remote at its origin from R?. 
Lanva. — Undeseribed; clothes itself with florets of aster (Lucas, Victor. Nat. Vol. 5, p. 26). 
Certainly another offshoot of Euchloris. 
Type of the genus : /ulops argocrana (Meyrick) — Eucrostis argocrana, Meyrick. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Victoria, lasmania. 
1) Staudinger's suspicion that the published locality Amur was due to an error is justified. Thierry- Mieg's type (teste Dognin in litt.) and the 
co-type kindly lent us by M. Dognin are both labelled Central Asia. It is a curicous coincidence that a couple of another Central Asiatic species 
(correspondens) in coll. Brit. Mus. are also labelled Amur; we have assumed this also to be an error. 
2) The only 9 which we have seen has lost both hindlegs.
