Genus DINAKA. 
Corpus sat robustum. Proboscis brevis. Palpi breves, caput 
non adaequantes; articulus 3us minimus. Antennae thorace lon- 
giores. Abdomen longiusculum, alas posticas triente superans. Pedes 
sat validi; tibiae posticae calearibus quatuor longis. Alae latiusculae ; 
anticae apud costam rectae, apice acurninatae, margine exteriore sat 
obliquo subundulato. 
Body moderately stout. Proboscis short. Palpi short, not 
extending so far as the head; third joint very small. Antennae 
longer than the thorax. Abdomen rather long, extending for one- 
third of its length beyond the hind wings. Legs moderately stout ; 
bind tibiae with four long spurs. Wings somewhat broad. Fore 
wings straight in front, acuminated at the tips, rather oblique and 
indistinctly undulating, and denticulated along the exterior border; 
first and second inferior veins contiguous at the base; third very 
remote. Male . — Antennae moderately pectinated, much longer than 
those of the female. Female . — Antennae serrated. 
This genus is nearly allied to Antheua, and the Synopsis, p. 586, 
will include it with Ardices, from which it is distinguished by the 
greater length of the abdomen and by the denticulated fore wings.
