  position 
  of 
  the 
  small 
  cross- 
  vein, 
  and 
  Craspedoxantha, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  

   bristly 
  third 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  dc. 
  bristles. 
  In 
  Prof. 
  

   Hendel's 
  table 
  it 
  runs 
  down 
  to 
  Neanomoea, 
  an 
  undescribed 
  Oriental 
  genus 
  from 
  

   Formosa. 
  

  

  Trypeta 
  jucunda, 
  Loew, 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  allied 
  form, 
  but 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  venation 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  head, 
  belonging 
  probably 
  to 
  some 
  peculiar, 
  as 
  yet 
  undescribed 
  

   genus.

   one 
  along 
  the 
  fore 
  border 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  along 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  this 
  last 
  is 
  bifurcate 
  

   into 
  a 
  recurrent 
  band 
  across 
  the 
  hind 
  cross- 
  vein 
  and 
  along 
  the 
  hind

  portion 
  of 
  the 
  third, 
  which 
  ends 
  nearer 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  but 
  the
