LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 233 



angular on the hind border. Hind borders of the hind wings hardly 

 extending beyond the base of the abdomen. Abdomen long, linear. 

 Legs slender, rather long ; fore tibiae dentated beneath ; middle and 

 apical spurs of the hind tibiae moderately long. 



This group is chiefly distinguished by its narrow body and 

 slender wiugs, in which characters some of the preceding species, 

 (e.g.) E. Epila'is and E.ferox approach it successively.
