Type reticulata. 
3 , $. Proboscis absent; palpi obliquely porrect, just reaching frons, two 
jointed; second joint about two times first joint, slightly curved and gradually 
tapering to a point; rather densely clothed with moderate hairs in front; 
eyes rounded, naked, large; antennae about to middle of costa, bipectinated 
till tip; branches in $ about 5 times shaft, in $ about two times; branches 
ciliated anteriorly and ending in a point which is directed forwardly; first 
joint of shaft globular and with some moderate hairs in front; fore tibia with 
a short process which is spirally twisted outwardly and entirely hidden in 
long dense hairs ; mid and hind tibiae with two spurs only, which are moderate 
in length, covered with hairs and ending in a slightly curved point which has 
two rows of teeth, as in Zana, etc. ; mid and hind femora with long hairs on 
outer side ; tibiae with long hairs on inner side ; tarsi with appressed hairs and 
without spines. Fore wing sub-triangular; costa straight; apex rounded; 
termen oblique and evenly curved; tornus rounded; inner margin straight; 
1 b straight, indistinctly forked at base ; 2 from beyond f rd of lower median ; 
3 from near lower angle, 4 from lowejr angle ; 5 rather weak, from a little above 
middle of discocellulars, which are almost erect and nearly straight; 6 and stalk 
of 7, 8, 9, 10 from upper angle; 7 from stalk at |rd full length of 7; 9 from 8 
at frd origin of 8 to apex; 10 from f of stalk 8, 9; 11 from near upper angle; 
12 straight, parallel to costa. Hind wing triangular; costa almost straight; 
apex and tornus well rounded; termen very oblique and well rounded; inner 
margin slightly curved; 1 a straight ; 1 b somewhat curved ; 2 from beyond frd 
lower median ; 3 from near lower angle ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 weak and from 
above middle of discocellulars which are outwardly oblique; 6 and 7 on a 
stalk of nearly frd full length of 7 ; and from upper angle ; 8 curved upwards 
near base, then approximated to upper median, then oblique to apex, not 
connected to upper median with a bar; thorax clothed with long hair; abdo- 
men of $ ending in a tuft of long loose hairs as found in Euproctis, etc. 
This is a very peculiar genus, both for structure and for larval habits; the 
absence of the tongue, the two jointed palpi and the venation of the fore wing 
are unusual and the abdominal tuft in the $ is a character not found in any 
of the Notodontids dealt with before. 
Walker and other writers have placed this genus under the Lymantriadae, 
which is decidedly wrong; on the other hand it shows family characters of the 
Striphnopterygidae, but as clearly shown by Prof. AurivilJius in Bihang till 
Kongl. Svensk. Vet. Akad. Hand l. Bd. 27. Abt. iv. No. 7, pp. 3 and 4, the venation 
of the fore wing is mainly as in the Notodontidae, while in the former family vein 
10 is either absent or comes at any rate from the stalk farther from the cell 
than vein 8, while in the Notodontids vein 8 is always farther from the cell than 
ein 10. It is remarkable, however, that the venation of the fore wing of
