long as the second ; second joint subcylindric, rather stoutest in the middle, truncate at the 
apex ; third joint scarcely the length of, and slenderer than, the second, tapering to a 
point at the apes. 
^' AntenncE about two thirds the length of the body, rather slender, terminating in a short 
pyriform club. 
" Thorax elongate, oval, hairy. 
^'Anterior wings subtriangular ; the anterior margin but slightly curved ; outer two thirds the 
length of the anterior margin, emarginate : inner longer than the outer margin, slightly 
sinuate, emarginate. Costal nervure stout, extending beyond the middle of the wing. 
Subcostal nervure slender ; its first branch thrown off before the end of the cell ; its 
second about at equal distance beyond it ; its third about equidistant from the second and 
fourth. Upper discocellular scarcely existing. Lower discocellular wanting, yet its 
position faintly indicated. Third median nervule gradually curved. 
" Pos/f nor WM!f/s subtriangular, all the margins about equal in length; the anterior and outer 
margins curved ; the latter sinuate, slightly dentate ; inner margin slightly emarginate 
above the anal angle. Precostal nervure simple, nearly straight. Discoidal nervure 
sepai-ating from the subcostal neiTule soon after its origin. Cell open. Third median 
nervule but little curved. 
" Anlerlor legs of the male clothed with long slender hairs. Femur and tibia slender, the latter 
slightly longer than the former. Tarsus shorter than the femur, one-jointed, nearly 
cylindric, tapering to a point at the apex. 
" Anterior legs of the female more elongate, scaly. Tibia about three fourths the length of the 
femur. Tarsus nearly cylindric, fully as long as the tibia, five-jointed ; all the joints, 
except the fifth, armed at the apex with a stout spine on each side. First joint rather 
stoutest, one third longer than the rest combined ; second about two fifths the length of 
the first ; third one half the length of the second ; fourth and fifth combined rather more 
than equal to the third ; the fourth very obliquely truncate at the apex. 
"Middle and posterior legs with the femora slightly longer than the tibiae; the latter and the 
tarsus of about equal length. Femora stout. Tibia nearly cylindric, spiny on each side 
within ; the spurs long. Tarsi spiny laterally and, except the fifth joint, below ; the spines 
of the lower surface tending towards an arrangement in a double series. First joint three 
fourths the length of the rest combined ; second and third nearly equal ; fourth very short ; 
fifth longer than the second. Claws much curved, grooved below. Paronychia long ; the 
outer lacinia very slender, pointed, as long as the claw ; inner obtuse, much shorter than 
the outer. Pulvillus jointed, nearly as long as the claw. 
" Abdomeu moderately stout, about three fourths the length of the inner margin of the wing. 
" Larva spiny ; the head with two spines longer than those of the body ; the prothoracic segment 
unarmed. 
' PnPA angular, tuberculate ; the head bifid." {Douhleday, I. c.)
