These last subfamilies 4, 7 and 8 are very difficult to define by any simple 

 characters of the perfect insect and Watson's old artificial divisions have been 

 of necessity utilized to render the determination of genera possible. These, 

 it will be remembered, are based upon the position of vein 5 of the forewing, 

 whether it is straight throughout its length, and therefore not notably nearer 

 to 4 than 6 or bent down at the origin towards vein 4, making that origin 

 much nearer to vein 4 than it is to vein 6. The key to the genera would then, 

 for these subfamilies, coincide with that for the subfamilies themselves, as 

 under (for clearness' sake the Notocryptinoe have been included again as, 

 perhaps, the head divided into antenna character may not be perfectly satis- 

 factory) : — 



a5. Fore wing i vein 5 straight through- 

 out its length, not arising markedly 

 nearer to 4 than to 6. 

 a6. Fore wing t vein 11 running close to 

 or actually touching vein 12, 

 al. Palpi I terminal joint plainly 



visible . . . . . . . . Erynninace (7). 



{Genus 28 Baracus). 



hi. Palpi ! terminal joint concealed 



in the thick clothiag of the second Notocryptince (9). 

 66. Fore wing s vein 11 quite separate {Genus 33 Sancus) 

 from veia 12. 



al. Palpi 1 terminal joint conspi- 

 cuous, erect, long, slender, curving 

 over vertex of head. 

 a8. Fore toing s vein 3 from well 

 before end of cell ; vein 3 of hind 

 wing before end of cell . . . . Erynnince (7). 



{Genus 17 Stutstus). 



68. Fore wing j vein 3 immediately 

 before end of cell ; vein 3 of 

 hind wing from end of cell . . Notocryptince (9). 



{Genus 36 lambrix). 

 bl. Palpi ! terminal joint inconspi- 

 cuous, entirely or almost entirely 

 . • concealed in clothing of second joint. 



aS. Palpi > terminal joint erect . . Notocryptince (9). 



{Genus 35 Hyarotis)^ 



68. Palpi ! terminal joint horizontal. 

 ad. Palpi .' small terminal joint 



comparatively conspicuous . . Plastingiince (4). 



{Genus 18 Arnetfa). 

 69. Palpi .» small terminal joint 



concealed in clothing of second Plastingiince (4). 



{Genus 19 Zographetus). 



66. Fore wing .» vein 5 deflected at origin, 



thus rising much nearer vein 4 than 



to vein 6 : the middle discocellular 



thus much longer than the lower. 



o6. Antennae, t short, the terminal hook 



minute, never as long as breadth of 



club ; antenna about 5mm., in length Baorince (8). 



{Genus 31 Gegenes),
