Synia museulosa, should certainly not preceed 

 the Leucanias with which it has nothing in common. 

 Barrett places it among the Tapinostolas ; this might 

 easily be if the Tapinostolas were made to include 

 several of the Nonagrias and also (Miana) arcuosa and 

 expolita which undoubtedly belong to this group ; and 

 possibly the remainder of the Mianas. From a genitalia 

 point of view, I suggest the following alteration, as being 

 nearer to true relationship, at the same time admitting 

 that the grouping is distinctly difficult, mostly leading 

 directly or indirectly to the Hydrcecias, 



Nonagria museulosa. 



Harpe peaked, with corona; from the base of the 

 cucullus arises a spatulate flap, which is connected 

 with a rudimentary clasper; clavus rounded and 

 scobinated; uncus bluntly pointed; aedoeagus strongly 

 toothed at the orifice; vesica with short bulbed cornutus. 



Fulva. 



Harpe rounded, with marginal spines, no corona; clasper 

 extends from the cucullus, and is strong and pointed; 

 uncus tongue shaped ; vesica with bunch of small teeth ; 

 the juxta is produced into two flaps turned over, 

 and scobinated. 



Geminipuncta. 



Harpe simple, hairy, with indication of cucullus being 

 divided, without corona or marginal spines : clasper and 

 ampulla atrophied ; clavus lobed ; uncus cygnated ; 

 peniculus curiously peaked; vesica with spicule. 



Neuriea ; edelsteni. Tutt. Pencils present. 



Harpe trigonate, with a corona of 20 spines ; clasper 

 attached to the skin, except at the head, where it turns 

 to a short peaked arm ; ampulla a papilla ; clavus 

 rounded ; uncus tongue shaped ; aedoeagus with a short 

 tooth ; vesica with scobinated process where it joins the 

 aedoeagus at the orifice.
