LEPIDOPTERA. 215 
Here the inferior palpi, always large, are directed forwards; the 
last joint at most is turned up. The superior palpi are apparent. 
~ Crambus, Fab. 
Where there is a distinct proboscis; the inferior palpi advance to 
the end in the manner of a straight rostrum. Found in dry pas- 
tures on various plants(1). 
Auvoira, Lat.—Ypsolaphus, Fab. 
Where there is also a distinct proboscis; but the last joint of the 
inferior palpi is turned up. The antennz are simple(2). 
Evrtocamus, Lat.—Phycis, Fab. 
Where the proboscis is very short and but slightly apparent; the 
last joint of the inferior palpi is turned up, and the scales of the 
preceding one form a fascis. The antenne of the males have a 
double range of barbule(3). 
Puycis, Fab. 
Entirely similar to Euplocamus, except in the antennz, which at 
most are ciliated(4). 
There the inferior palpi are entirely raised, and in several, even 
curved over the head. 
Sometimes the inferior palpi are very apparent and of a moderate 
size. The antenne and the eyés are distant. 
In the two following subgenera, the inferior palpi scarcely extend 
beyond the front.
