NYMPIIALIN/E.

clothed witli scales and very fine sliort hairs (most developed on second 
joint above), the terminal joint not distinctly separated from the second, 
rather wide, moderately acute ; antennx of moderate length, with a 
narrow, elongated, gradually-formed club, somewhat flattened and hol- 
lowed externally. 
Thorax rather slender, moderately clothed with longish hair above, 
closely and shortly pubescent beneath. Forc-wings : with costa slightly 
arched ; apical portion slightly prominent, or produced and moderately 
truncate ; hind-margin slightly or moderately concave about middle ; 
inner margin almost straight ; costal and median nervules swollen 
for some distance from base ; submedian nervure curved downward at 
a little distance from base ; first subcostal nervule emitted considerably 
before extremity of discoidal cell, second about midway between first 
and extremity of cell ; middle disco-cellular nervule rather long, much 
curved towards base ; lower disco- cellular longer, less curved, slender 
but distinct, meeting third median nervule at or just beyond its origin ; 
discoidal cell very short, truncate. Ilind-wings : with costa mode- 
rately humped close to base, and thence almost straight ; hind-margin 
rounded, 'moderately sinuate-dentate ; discoidal cell very short, the 
nervule closing it very much attenuated or almost obsolete ; internal 
nervure terminating in a line with tip of abdomen ; groove formed by 
inner margins moderately deep. Fore-legs of $ clothed rather thickly 
throughout with long hairs ; of ^ not much larger, with the femur 
hairy, and the tibia and tarsus scaly, with a few short hairs. Middle 
and hmd legs of moderate size, scaly ; tibiae with only a few small spines 
laterally and beneath, and with the terminal spurs short and weak ; 
tarsi moderately spinulose beneath, the terminal claws strong and curved. 
Aldomcn rather short, very slender in ^. 
Pupa. — Head rather acutely and deeply bifid ; thorax rather deep, 
and very broad (owing to lateral expansion of wing-covers, forming 
blunted angulations at bases and posterior angles) ; dorso-thoracic pro- 
minence very high, acute ; abdomen slender, slightly reeurrcd.

Natalian example of either G, Ncdcdcnsis or G. Boisduvali.) 
Grcnis is doubtfully separable from Fu7iica, Hlibn. — a South- 
American genus — the only differences that I can discover being that in 
the former the head is smaller, the palpi longer, the thorax less robust, 
and the costa of the hind-wings not nearly so prominently humped 
near the base. 
The swollen costal and median nervures of the fore-wings afford a 
ready mark of distinguishing Grcnis from any other South- African 
genera of Nymiihalinm except Furytclct and Hy]ianis, and both the 
latter are at once recognised by their very much longer palpi. All the 
nine species ^ recorded are natives of the Ethiopian Eegion, and the 
^ Harma Concordia, Hopffer (figured in Peters' Reise nach Mossambique, Ins,, t. xxii. 
ff. 3, 4), is evidently a Crcnis not distantly allied to C. Amnlia (Cram.) Only the 9 is 
recorded ; its locality is given as Querimba.
