Tliis and Anereuthinn are nearly allied genera, having a 

 very robust appearance ; in the latter genus, however, the 

 posterior tibia3 are more broadly fringed and the thorax is 

 more humped in front ; probably as other species are received 

 it will be found impossible to keep them separate. Hypcetra 

 lilach of Guenee is unknown to me (Walker and others have 

 called it H. lilacii).

This in its pattern reminds one of Maxnla unistrigata. 



Athyrma, Hiibn. 



This genus has hitherto been a muddle of species belonging 

 to several allied genera. They are easily separable by the 

 palpi alone, those oi Athyrma having a long slender third joint; 

 but in the males of this genus the costa is swollen and 

 embossed before the centre and they have very fine and 

 short ciliations to their antennge.

Allied to the preceding, but the sigilla on the costa of the
