In habit and in many of its characters this genus is widely 

 different from the last; in that respect, and in the delicacy of its 

 structure and coloration, it is the most aberrant of its sub- 

 family. It will be uoted that both genera have a six-jointed 

 fuuicle ; (the artist has given seven, and has not made the first 

 nearly as large as it should have been).
