Messrs. Godinan and Salvin consider the annulatus of Mabille to 

 be in all probability the female of a species of Oxjjnetra. 



II. Genus Microcekis, iiov. (Plate 1. fig. .'3.) 



Type, variicolor. Men. 



Antennae : club rather more pointed than in P>jr7'hopii(fe. Palpi 

 as in Pijrrliopiiye. Middle and lower discocellulars subequal, in- 

 wardly oblique ; veius 7 and 8 stalked, i. e. anastomosing, for a 

 short portion of their length ; vein 3 about t.vice as far from 2 as 

 from 4. Hind wiug: outer margin crenulated ; vein 7 just before 

 end of cell ; vein .5 wanting ; veiu 3 from end of cell ; vein 2 consider- 

 ably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Fore tibise very 

 short. Hind tibia? with two pairs of spurs.

12. Genus Mvscelus. 



Myscelus, Hiibuer, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 110 (IHl(j). 



Typej nobilis, Cramer. 



Antennae hooked, ending in a blunt point ; club comparatively 

 slender, only about twice as thick as shaft. Outer margin sligbtly 

 longer than inner margin. Cell reaching to more than two-thirds 

 the length of costa. Discocellulars very oblique in the same straight 

 line. Vein 5 nearer to 4 than to G. Vein 3 from just before end 

 of cell, more than twice as far from 2 as from end of cell. Hind 

 wiug very crenulate, rather squared at anal angle. Hind tibiae with 

 two pairs of spurs, both tibiae and femora being densely fringed on 

 their inner edge.

 Section A. 



Antennae : club usu;illy bent into a hook, but sometimes sickle- 

 sliaped, always terminating in a fine point. Third joint of palpi 

 either minute, or else porrected horizontally in front of the face, as 

 in section C of the PumphiUuce, never curving over the vertex. 

 Cell of fore wing always more tban two thirds the length of costn. 

 Discocellulars generally very oblique. Vein 5 slightly nearer either 

 to 4 or to G, never conspicuously close to either. Hind wing 

 frequently with a tail or tooth at submedian. Vein 5 never fully 

 developed except in a few Old-World genera. 



The length of the cell of the fore wing will serve to separate this 

 section.
