Genus POLYMONA. 



In the ' Synopsis ' (page 586) this genus will come next to 

 Sciathos, from which it may be thus distinguished : — 



Tibiae posticae calcaribus apicalibus parvis. — Sciathos. 

 Tibiae posticae calcaribus apicalibus longis.— Polymona. 



It is allied to Antheua, and seems also to have affinities with 

 the Liparidce and with the Noetuites.

 Proboscis brevissima. Palpi pilosissimi, mediocriter longi ; articu- 

 lus lus brevis ; 3us parvus, acuto-conicus. Antennas latissime pec- 

 tinatae, thorace paullo longiores. Abdomen alas posticas vix superans. 

 Pedes validi ; tibiae posticae calcaribus apicalibus longiusculis. Alae 

 mediocriter latae.
