This tribe is merely a section of the great group of Bombycidae, 

 but is here numbered separately in accordance with the usual classi- 

 fication of Lepidoptera. It does not apparently connect the pre- 

 ceding tribe with the following, but is nearer allied to the latter than 

 to the former. 



Genus 1. ZYG^NA. 



Larvae contractae, subcylindricae, obesae, pubescentes. Pupa 

 folliculo chartaceo fusiformi vel crustaceo ovoideo caulibus herbaceis

 ascendentes. Lingua cornea, spiraliter convoluta. Antennae clavi- 

 formes, corporis dimidio longiores, apice imberbia. Alae elongatae, 

 maculis discoloribus notatae. Pedes mediocres, obsolete calcarati.
