ObSOleta. From Eustace Bankes. Pencils present. 

 Harpe with cucullus longer than preceding species ; 

 clasper shortish and pointed ; ampulla curved ; clavus 

 hardly produced and scobinated ; vesica with band of 

 longish teeth and one very long strong cornutus. 



For the purpose of comparison, the following two 

 lists of the Lettcanidce are given from Staudinger and 

 Barrett, with the distinguishing mark "x" for the first 

 division with the rounded cucullus, those marked "o" 

 have the pointed cucullus, and those marked " t " for the 

 three species that are quite separate, but which are at 

 present intruded between closely connected species. 

 Staudinger still continues to include brevilinea and 

 phragmitidis which obviously do not belong here.

Meliana flammea. Appears to be an off-shoot 

 of the second group of Leucanias. 



Harpe with cucullus divided, without corona, but with 

 marginal spines ; clasper a trident, in which the inner 

 prong is a club, the middle one a spear, and the outer 

 one a scythe ; clavus angulated ; uncus tapered ; vesica 

 with band of short teeth and two long cornuti.
