Seven groups, of wbich the first is like the second European 

 group; the second like the third European group, but with more dis- 

 tinct characters and more resembling some of the Nacluites ; in the 

 third the palpi are long and nearly erect, and the submarginal line 

 of the fore wings is very distinct and regular*; the fourth has porrect 

 and very long palpi, and the exterior line of the fore wings is con- 

 tinued regularly on the hind wings ; the fifth is distinguished by its 

 long narrow fore wings, which are especially acute in the male ; the 

 sixth has long slender palpi and antennae; the seventh is dis- 

 tinguished by the narrow lore wings and by the palpi, of which the 

 third joint is longer in the female than in the male.
