Imago. — Head rather broad, very hairy in front ; eyes smooth ; 
palpi long, separate throughout their length, thickly scaly, — second 
joint rather stout, long, ascendant, densely scaly (and sometimes rather 
hairy) beneath, — terminal joint porrected horizontally, slender, acuminate, 
smoothly scaled, usually rather long (longer in $ than in ; antennae, 
of moderate length, or rather short, straight, thick, very gradually 
incrassate from before their middle, or sometimes even from their base, 
the tip obtuse. 
Thorax robust (especially in ^), clothed as in Chrysorycliia. Fore- 
wings usually more or less prolonged, especially in ^, but blunt and 
with convex hind-margin in $ ; in some species, however, hind-margin 
in both sexes is angulated or elbowed at end of lower radial nervule, 
and slightly dentate throughout ; subcostal nervure five-branched,-^ — 
the first and second nervules originating widely apart from each other 
well before extremity of discoidal cell, — the third and fourth similarly 
well beyond extremity of cell, the latter being short and terminating 
at apex, — the fifth terminating on hind- margin a little distance from 
apex ; upper radial nervule united to superior extremity of upper disco- 
cellular nervule, lower radial at junction of two disco-cellulars. Hind- 
wings not produced in anal-angular portion, but roundly prominent 
outwardly about middle of hind-margin ; costa but slightly arched or 
nearly straight ; hind-margin more dentate than that of fore-wing, 
often with a more or less marked projection or short pointed tail at 
extremity of submedian nervure, and sometimes with also a similar 
shorter one at extremity of first median nervule ; neuration as in 
^ In Z. Chrysantas (Trim.) and Z. Leroma (Wallengr.) the fifth subcostal is wanting, the 
third being given off very much nearer to apex, and the shorter fourth (which ends at apex) 
being somewhat sinuated. Wallengren has made Leroma the type of his new genus Crudaria 
(K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Forhandl., 1875, P- 86), but in his short diagnosis I find no character 
of importance except that of the subcostal nervure just mentioned.
