apex ; inner angle rounded ; inner margin straight, considerably longer 

 than the outer margin ; costal nervure ending before the apex of the 

 discoidal cell ; subcostal nervules arising at nearly equal distances 

 apart ; discoidal cell a little less than two-thirds as long as the costa ; 

 upper disco-cellular nervule very short, stout, outwardly oblique ; 

 middle disco-cellular strongly inwardly oblique, in the same straight 

 line as the lower disco-cellular ; lower disco-cellular straight, shorter 

 than the middle disco-cellular ; second median nervule arising well 

 before the lower end of the cell ; first median arising about midway 

 between the base of the wing and the origin of the second, median 

 nervule ; submedian nervure straight, with a narrow brand formed of 

 modified black scales placed anteriorly against it along its basal second 

 and third fifths. Hind wing, costa greatly arched at the base, less so 

 to the apex ; apex much rounded ; outer margin convex, slightly 

 emarginate at the termination of the first median nervule ; abdominal 

 margin rounded ; costal nervure regularly curved throughout, ending 

 at the apex of the wing ; first subcostal nervule arising well before the 

 upper end of the cell ; discoidal cell reaching to the middle of the 

 wing ; discoidal nervule obsolete ; disco-cellular nervules of equal 

 length, slightly concave and slightly outwardly oblique ; second 

 median nervule arising quite close to the lower end of the cell ; first 

 median arising much nearer to the end of the cell than to the base of 

 the wing, the distance between the base of the first and second median 

 nervules is about three times that between the second and first ; 

 submedian and internal nervures nearly straight. Antennae about half 

 the length of the costa of the forewing, with a w T ell-formed club, 

 ending in a long whip-like point. Palpi densely scaly, second joint 

 broad, pressed closely against the face, the third joint entirely concealed,, 

 Thoeax very robust. Abdomen rather stout, tapering, extending well 

 beyond the outer margin of the hindwing. Legs, femur of hind" 

 leg fringed beneath, tibia with two pairs of spines. Female, a little 

 larger than the male, lacking the sexual brand on the forewing, the 

 abdomen stouter than in the male, shorter, not reaching beyond the 

 outer margin of the hindwing. Type, " Pamara " pholus, de 

 Niceville. 



Pudicitia is very near to Erionota, Mabille, of which genus 

 E. thra;r, Linnaeus, is the type, differing therefrom in the presence of a
