Syneda has strong compact legs, more like those, of the typical 
Noctua. 
Parthenos and Cuatocala have strong, well developed legs, the re often 
but not always, with a brush on the anterior tibia. ‘The femur especially 
of the anterior leg is heavily grooved beneath to receive the tibia and its 
brush of hair: the groove beimg more decided in the: co. The ‘claws mn 
Crto-ala are simple, while i in Parthcnos they are split. 
Panapoda Guen. is peculiar, from the hoy eens of the St tibiae 
on at le ast two of its species. 
The tarsal claw also of this species is unique so far as I have observed. 
Remigia Guen. is peculiar by the clothing on the posterior tarsi of 
of which somewhat resembles Z7iofus but is much more dense. | 
Homoptera, taking edusa as the type has the legs short, compact and 
clothed with fine wooly. vestiture, longer in the ;j‘: the tarsi are unusu- 
ally short, the spinulation thin and very slender and the claws as in Dra- 
steria. ‘Vhe middle tibia is spinose. 
Hlomopyralis, the last genus before the Deltoidae is peculiar as re- 
spects the structure of the anterior legs : the coxa is enormously developed, 
as long, and much heavier than the femur, the trochanter is unusually 
distinct and the femur tibia and tarsi are stout and strong: in the Q the 
spurs of the middle and hind tibia are decidedly unequal, and the upper 
are much longer than the posterior pair: In the Qj the spurs are 
nearly equal, the posterior tibia has a distinct brush, the middle is very 
heavily clothed with scales and hair, while the anterior has the femur ex-_ 
cavated above, to accomodate a very dense long brush of hair attached near 
the base, and has a very heavy clothing of long hair on the tibia, hardly 
forming a brush. 
Pseudoglossa and F/elia (Epianay, the first genera in the Delfouls 
are peculiar in the structure of the anterior legs; this is indentical i in both 
genera. iB Mo Rs me 
lowed out. above however in such a.manner that only a’ shell remains: the 
femur is heavy at base,’ but very much thinned just behind the middle, 
this excavation has precisely the length of the tibia w hich fits into- it 5M 
completely. that af first view it seemed as though there was a tarsus gTOw-+ 
ing out of the femur. | The tibia has. the usual excavation, and in the ef 
a smail brush which i is wanting in the 9. The tarsal claw is much like | 
in dZerminia except that, the claw. is longer. | ee
