shorter, they end in an acute inwardly curved point and the remainder length 
is covered with scale-like hairs; femora of all legs, especially those of hind legs,: 
rather thinly clothed with long hairs ; tibiae more thickly covered on outer side 
tarsi of mid and hind legs with some bristles on inner side and covered with 
hairs and scales. 
Fore wing broad ; costa straight ; curved at and beyond vein 1 1 ; apex 
rounded ; termen erect, crenulate ; tornus sharply rounded ; inner margin with 
a large rounded lobe at basal half on which is a large tuft of hairs; another but 
smaller tuft of hairs beyond postmedial line; 1 b somewhat curved and in- 
distinctly forked at base; lower median curved upwardly; 2 from fth lower 
median ; 3 from f rd 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle and well curved ; 5 from middle of 
discocellulars and somewhat weak ; discocellulars erect, curved below and above 
vein 5; 6 from areole at f-th of areole; areole very long, about half length of 
vein 10, narrow; 7 from end of areole; 8, 9, 10 stalked; 9 from 8 at |rd whole 
length of 8; vein 10 from stalk of 8, 9 at little beyond areole; 11 from upper 
median at fth, upper median curved upwards; 12 parallel to costa. 
Hind wing sub-triangular; costa curved; apex well rounded; termen 
oblique, well rounded, crenulate; tornus rounded; inner margin straight; 1 a 
and 1 b slightly curved ; 2 from lower median at fth ; 3 from fth 2-4 ; 4 from 
lower angle, well curved; 5 rather weak and from above middle of disco- 
cellulars; upper discocellular erect, lower oblique and both somewhat curved; 
an indistinct veinlet into the cell beyond vein 5 ; 6 and 7 from upper angle, 
stalked for about length of upper discocellular; upper median well curved; 
8 gently curved at base, then downwards to approach and run parallel with 
terminal half of upper median, then curved upwards to apex; at before half 
of upper median there is an indication of a bar on this vein and vein 8. 
I have little doubt that my specimens have to come in this genus, though 
in this species the antennae are well pectinated, even in the $, while in the 
other species of Lophopteryx they are serrate in the all other characters 
agree so well, that I keep the South African species here. The figure of the wing 
venation given by Packard differs in a few characters from my specimens; it 
has the areole much shorter, 6 shortly stalked in the fore wing and no veinlet 
in the cell, and the inner margin has a pointed lobe ; in the hind wing the outer 
and inner margins are not as straight and the stalk of 6, 7 is shorter in my 
specimens. The illustration of the fore leg differs from mine in the tarsi and the 
process being much shorter in the American species, but it is not possible to 
recognise the shape and structure of this process even in the denuded specimen.

The description given by Swinhoe is rather short but fits my specimens in 
every respect, except that the dorsal side of the abdomen is not whitish tinged 
with pink in my specimens, but more yellow. There are, however, several 
details that can be seen which have been omitted. I therefore give a fairly full 
re-description of my specimens. 
$. Head, thorax, fore wing, tibiae and femora of all legs bone-brown (xl), 
the thorax and the fore wing here and there tinged with chestnut (ii) ; shaft of 
antennae bone-brown, pecten clay colour (xxix); abdomen above cinnamon- 
buff (xxix) slightly tinged with hair-brown (xlvi), on under side nearly entirely 
hair-brown; two white spots on meso-thorax. Fore wing with a white spot at 
base above 1 b and a few white hairs below it; antemedial line blackish, pre-
