NYMPHALIX.E. 
joint long, rather thick, more or less liairy above and on inner side, 
terminal joint very short, conical ; anUnnm long or rather long, with a 
very gradually formed, elongate, sub-cylindrical club. Thorax mode- 
rately robust, clothed above with close short down (anteriorly and 
posteriorly with moderately- long hair), beneath with short hair. Fore- 
luings usually elongate apically, but often truncate ; costa moderately 
or rather strongly arched ; apex more or less pronounced, sometimes 
rather acuminate ; hind-margin slightly sinuated, usually more or less 
sub-angulated below apex, excavated about middle, and prominent 
again above posterior angle ; inner margin nearly straight ; costal 
nervure terminating not far beyond middle ; first subcostal nervule ori- 
ginating at some distance before extremity of discoidal cell, — second a 
little before, just at, or a very little beyond, extremity of cell, — third 
at a long distance beyond cell and terminating at apex, — fourth very 
short, originating not far before apex and terminating a little below it ; 
disco-cellular nervules as in Hamanumida, but less oblique.-^ Hind- 
wings large, usually more or less prolonged inferiorly, especially in $ 
(where anal angle itself is often produced into a blunt point) ; costa 
almost straight beyond strong basal convexity ; hind- margin more 
sinuated than in fore-wing, sometimes with prominence at extremity of 
second subcostal nervule ; inner margins meeting to form a deep, broad 
groove to beyond middle, and thence separated ; costal nervure extend- 
ing to apex ; upper disco-cellular nervule united to second subcostal 
not far from latter's origin, and forming little more than a footstalk 
for radial nervule ; lower one usually wanting entirely, — when present, 
much attenuated ; internal nervure extending to about or considerably 
beyond middle. Fore-legs of $ very small and slender, femur densely 
hairy beneath, tibia and tarsus rather densely fringed with hairs on 
each side, less hairy superiorly ; of $ considerably larger and thicker, 
femur thinly hairy beneath ; tibia three-fourths as long as femur, 
smooth, scaly ; tarsus about half as long as tibia, indistinctly articulate, 
scaly, with a few spines beneath at tip. Middle and Jmid legs thick, 
rather short, scaly ; tibige with short spines beneath and moderately- 
long terminal spurs ; tarsi rather strongly spinose beneath. 
Abdomen short ; compressed in 
Harma is nearly related to Aterica, Boisd., differing chiefly in its 
shorter antennse ; thicker, less ascendant, more hairy, and more sepa- 
rated palpi ; more hairy fore-legs in ^ ; shorter middle and hind legs ; 
and (usually) longer, sub-angulated fore-wings, and anal-angular pro- 
jection in hind-wings. These characters, with the exception of shorter 
antennge and the greater hairiness of the palpi, also serve to distinguish 
it from Hamanumicla ; and it further differs from the latter in its 
longer antennal club, not blunt at its extremity ; more hairy breast ; 
^ Westwood [loc. cit.) describes the South-African II. Eupithes (= 6 Alcimeda) as having 
the discoidal cell open in all the wings ; but I find the lower disco-cellular nervule distinct, 
though very slender, in the fore-wings.j
