Male Genitalia. Clasper broad basally, narrowing apically, the apex 
incurved and pointed, forming with the well-developed pollex a bifid 
prong; no corona; sacculus strongly developed and extending over basal 
portion of harpe; harpe strong, excurved, and projecting far beyond costal 
margin, basal attachment a strongly curved bar of chitin, joining underside 
Figure 43. Male genitalia of Adelphagrotis stellaris Grt. 
of sacculus near middle of inner margin. Clavus absent. Juxta reduced 
to a narrow chitinous band. Uncus narrow, curved. Armature of vesica 
consisting of scobinate plates of chitin with the addition in the genotype 
of a single large cornu tus. 
The genus must be restricted to the species stellaris Grt., indeterminata 
Wlk., and, presumably, quaria Grt., of which the writer has not examined 
a male specimen. The type of genitalia is quite distinct from that of 
A nomogyna. 
Aplectoides Butl.

second joint roughly fringed with hair below. Front smooth. Male 
antennae ciliate. Tibiae all spined; fore tibia longer than first tarsal joint,
