(PL 23, fig. 124). Tegulae are variously developed but rarely long. Certain 

 characters on the legs are used in comparing the species. On the fore leg an epiphysis 

 ("tibial strigal", PL 68, fig. 445) is present in all genera except Sinecalca. The 

 hind leg was examined for the presence of tibial spurs and tarsal spines. Generally 

 there are two pairs of spurs on the hind tibia, a proximal and distal pair. While the 

 distal pair are always present, with some variation in their lengths, the proximal 

 pair are often modified or absent. These proximal spurs are absent in species of 

 Chrysotypus, very reduced in E. radiata, one proximal spur is absent in E. danista 

 and one proximal spur is absent while the remaining one is elongate and slightly 

 clavate in species of Collinsa. The hind tibiae, particularly in species of Striglina, 

 have large scale patches on them. The tarsal segments vary in length and this is 

 often of generic significance but the presence or absence of spines is the main 

 character on which separation of some genera is made. The tarsal segments may 

 be without spines or have spines arranged in different groupings (Text-figs 4-6; 

 PL 25, fig. 134). The two main groupings of spines on the tarsal segments are
