 This species, which causes great injury to vines, and so, in France especially, 

 from time to time produces serious damage, is the chief subject of an exten- 

 sive and excellent work of AUDOUIN, Hist, des Tnsectes nuisibles a la Vigne, 

 Paris, 1842, 4to.

Herminia LATR., Hypena SCHRANK. Wings triangular, sub- 

 horizontal, deflected, forming with the body a triangle when the 

 insect is seated ; the anterior sub-falcate at the apex, with posterior 

 margin convex. Labial palps longer than head, compressed, with 

 last joint recurved. Ocelli two. Antennae of males ciliated or 

 sub-pectinate. (Caterpillars with fourteen feet).

 hop, also on stinging-nettles, &c. The caterpillars of these species have no 

 feet on the sixth ring of the body ; when touched they let themselves fall 

 to the ground, and leap like fishes drawn out of water. 



Note. Genus Hyblcea FABR, is joined with Herminia by LA- 

 TREILLE ; it contains exotic species, which whether they be all rightly 

 placed here, appears to me very doubtful. Hyblcea liturata FABR. 

 from the Cape of Good Hope, Naturforsch. xxix. Tab. iv. fig. 14, 

 appears to agree entirely with Herminia ; here also are to be referred 

 PhalcencK Servia and Sergilia CRAM.

Phalcena FABR. (Phalcena oeometrce L.) Wings broad, mostly 

 patent when the insect is at rest, with anterior only partly covering 

 posterior, sometimes erect. Antennas elongate, towards the extre- 

 mity attenuated, setaceous, or in males pectinate. Labial palps 

 moderate. Ocelli none. Body attenuated. Most of the caterpillars
