1924] The Family Position of Graphelysia (Lepidoptera) 147 
on the first segment of the abdomen is weakly developed, and 
encloses the spiracle as in other Acontianse, and entirely unlike 
the deep subdorsal hood of the Arctiidse, the tympanic mem^ 
brane itself is high up and far back, practically on the level of 
the wing, and is not well set off from the articular membrane 
before it. The epimeron proper is unusually short and squarish, 
exaggerating a character found in other Acontianse. The hind 
leg is also of an Acontiine type, being swollen and hairy, with 
end-spurs only, and with a swollen and somewhat flattened 
metatarsus. 
iVltogether the connection with the Acontiine Noctuidae is 
unmistakable, though no genus known to me is at all close. 
The female does not differ in any striking way from the male.
