scobinated, the outer pair terminating in a sharply 

 emarginate hook, the hinder pair are broad and rounded. 

 The Columns are united to the tegumen by a buttress, 

 which opens out into an ovate lobe ; the vesica has a 

 strong spicule. 



Ridens. From C. H. Walker. 



The Harpe is peaked; the clasper is more developed and 

 becomes a straight column ; in the centre of the sacculus 

 is a large flap, similar to that found on several of the 

 Cymatophora; the uncus is bifurcate, and appears to work 

 laterally ; there is also an indication of a scaphium ; the 

 ^Edoeagus terminates in two strong hooks of uneven length, 

 curved inwards; the vesica has a small scobinated process. 



The Noctuidae now start with a long run, in 

 which the uncus consists of a single hook, with the 

 exception of two species, Xanthia silago and Miselia 

 oxyacanthce, in which it is bifurcate. 



The Bryophilidse are strongly generic. 

 Bryophila glandifera ; muralis. From C. H. 



Walker. 



The harpes are rounded, widening at the apex ; the 

 clasper consists of an elbowed hook ; the uncus is tongue 

 shaped ; the vesica has a strong cornutus.

The harpes are rounded, wider at the apex ; clasper an

Moma orion.
