Genus SALIGENA. 



Mas. Corpus robustura. Proboscis brevis. Palpi porrecti, 

 graciles, caput perpaullo superantes ; articulus 2us pilis iongis ves- 

 titus ; 3us lanceolatus, 2i diniidio non brevior. Antennae subpec- 

 iinatae. Abdomen cristatum, alas posticas non superans. Pedes 

 sat robusti, femoribus tibiisque pilosis. Alse anticae elongatae, 

 latiusculae, apice subrotundatas, margine exteriore subconvexo per- 

 obliquo. 



Male. Body moderately stout. Proboscis short. Palpi por- 

 rect, slender, extending very little beyond the head; second joint 

 clothed with long hairs ; third lanceolate, about half the length of 

 the second. Antennae slightly pectinated. Abdomen with some 

 small crests, not extending beyond the hind wings. Legs rather 

 stout ; femora and tibiae pilose ; spurs moderately long. Wings 

 elougate, rather broad. Fore wings slightly rounded at the tips; 

 exterior border slightly convex, very oblique ; third inferior vein 

 more than twice further from the fourth than from the second. 



This genus should perhaps be separated from the Cymatophor- 

 ida. It seems to have an affinity to the Notodontida.
