1925] Pectinate Antennce in the Geometridce (Lepidoptera) 111 
Pectinations with apical seta more or less distinct, but not 
fully apical, at least on some segments; subapical 
strong; sculpture of shaft weaker than in group D 
Group J 
A: Selidosema ( ericetaria , ambustaria but not the American 
species sometimes included). 
B: Lychnosea ( helviolaria only), L. (?“ Hyperitis ”) triang- 
uliferaria, Stegania (trimaculata) , Ripula. 
C: Caripeta, Hemerophila (abruptaria) . A wholly artificial 
pairing, I suspect. Caripeta has a pupa similar to Cabera and 
Apicia, Hemerophila is ynuch more suggestive in all ways of 
Lytrosis in series I. 
D: Vitrinella (pampinaria) . 
E: I tame ( Diastichtis , Cymatophora ) , Phy so stegania, Elpiste, 
Macaria (species with more or less pectinate antennae), Mericisca, 
Buzura (suppressaria) , Eubolia, Enconista, Epelis, Exelis, Eu- 
macaria, Parapheromia (lichenaria) , Tracheops, Merisme ( spodo - 
dea ), Fidonia ( limbaria ), Euaspilates, The South American 
“ Aids ” salmonearia, and “ Ectropis ” anaisaria also belong to 
this group, but not the genera in which they now stand. 
F: Glena (insaria, quinquelinearia ) , Anacamptodes, Ematur- 
ga ( faxonii , atomaria), Hyposidra ( talara ), Gynopteryx ( szriaria ), 
Hymenomima ( tharpa ), Ametris. 
G: Pseudoboarmia ( umbrosaria , punctinalis ) , Stenoporpia 
(polygrammaria ) , Tornos, Hesperumia, Chloraspilates, Somxtolo- 
phia, Halesa (cenitusalis) , Erebomorpha, Aplogompha ( riofrio ), 
Molybdogompha ( biseriata ,) “ Lychnosea ” intermicata, Neoterpes, 
Epiplatymetra. 
H: Ixala, Pterospoda, Enemera. 
I: Cabera, Drepanulatrix, Catopyrrha, Apicia ( Caberodes , 
without C. irraria). 
J : Plagodis, Anagoga, Hyperitis. This is a homogeneous 
group on venation as well as antenna. 
In the following genera I have been unable to find any 
trace of cones, or at most a few on the simple terminal segments, 
so that it is impossible to group them unambiguously. I divide 
them into artificial groups to call attention to some of their 
characters.
