Genus CCXL. — Macaria, Ciirtis. 



Palpi short, slightly projecting, obtuse, clothed with scales, elongated beneath, 

 triarticulate; basal joint nearly as long as the other two, shghtly curved, 

 second elongate-ovate, terminal small, subovate: maxilla; short. Antennw 

 long, subcrenated in the males, pubescent within, less robust in the females : 

 head small : eyes globose : thorax slender : wings entire, horizontally extended 

 during repose 3 anterior with the hinder margin shghtly excised, posterior 

 angulated ; sometimes all dentate : body short, slender in the males : posterior 

 tibis somewhat incrassated in the males, with a fascicle of hairs at the base, 

 which is frequently concealed. Larva not tuberculated, somewhat attenuated 

 anteriorly ; head small, cordiform : pupa angular, enveloped in a web among 

 leaves. 



This genus corresponds nearly with the genus Philobia of Du- 

 ponchel ; but the above name having been first published is here 

 retained, as the type belongs thereto : from the preceding genus 

 they differ in having the anterior wings slightly excised towards 

 the apex of the hinder margin, in wanting the oblique striga, as 

 well as by other less evident characters.
