LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 383 



Genus 32. THYMAEA. 



Antennae sat longae, setis appressis extus vestita?, ramis longis 

 scite setosis bipectinatae. Oculi magni, extantes. Alae anticae tri- 

 gonae. Alae posticae subtrigonae, longissime caudatae ; angulus 

 analis dentatus. Tibiae omnes simplices ? Abdomen breve, pilis 

 longis vestitum. 



Thymara, Doubleday, Zoologist, i. 197. 



" Costal vein of the fore wings straight, attaining the costa con- 

 siderably beyond the middle; subcostal nearly parallel with the 

 costal vein, bent downwards beyond the middle, so as partly to close 

 the discal areolet, from which portion two veinlets are thrown off to 

 the outer margin, whilst the third proceeds in a direct course to the 

 costa just before the apex ; median vein four-branched, the veinlets 

 attaining the outer margin at about equal distances; discal areolet 

 divided longitudinally by a false vein, which bifurcates at its ex- 

 tremity, one fork striking the disco-cellular curve of the subcostal, 

 the other the median vein above and beyond the point where the 

 second veinlet from the base is thrown off, thus closing the discal 

 areolet; radial veiu replaced by a very faint false vein. Costal vein 

 of the hind wings wanting; subcostal slightly curving outwards, 

 terminating in the tail, emitting one veinlet to the anterior margin, 

 just before the outer angle, another to the outer margin a little be- 

 fore the tail ; median vein slightly curved, terminating in the tail, 

 emitting a veinlet to the anal angle; between these two veins is a 

 false vein or fold, which runs directly along the middle of the wing 

 from the base to the tail, where it appears to unite with the median 

 vein."
