43. 

 Hypenodes, Steph. Cat. Lep. Brit. Mas. 



Body slender. Proboscis short. Palpi squamous, not pilose, 

 much curved, extending over the back of the head ; third joint lan- 

 ceolate, a little shorter than the second. Antenna? a little more 

 than half the length of the body, minutely serrated in the male. 

 Abdomen extending a little beyond the hind wings. Legs slender, 

 bare ; hind tibia? with long spurs. Wings rather narrow ; fringe 

 broad. Fore wings hardly convex along the costa, rectangular at 

 the tips, slightly convex and oblique along the exterior border. 

 This genus is included by Guenee with the Hypenidce^ but its cha- 

 racters agree much better with those of the Herminidice.
