Key to the genera of the Limacoclidae. By Dr. M. Hering. 
1. Subfamily: Lhnacodinae. 
The fore wing always lacks the radius sector in the cell, thus no vein proceeds from the anterior margin 
of the cell in the discal cell, and the cell is only parted by a plain or bifurcated discocellular vein. Tibiae of 
middle and hind legs almost invariably with spurs, at least the latter; they are only absent in Lamprolepsis. 
Key to the Genera 
(The 91. genus Arrliapa and the 92. genus Cynosarga which I could not diagnose have not been taken into 
consideration .) 
1. 5—9 or 6—9 on forewing stalked, cell extremely short . 1. Nervicompres-sa 
— 5 and 6 separated from 7—9 on forewing.2. 
2. Vein 8 on hindwing is yet bent to 7 behind the cell, or anastomosing with it . 2. Alippa 
— Vein 8 on hindwing approaching the anterior margin of the cell as far as the cell- 
end at most, then tending away from it.3. 
3. 11 stalked with 8—10 on forewing. 83. Cochliopodina 
— 11 always rising separately from the cell on forewing.4. 
4. Palpi extremely long, more than three times the diameter of the eye, projecting far 
beyond the head.5. 
— Palpi not extraordinarily long, if they are long the second joint is much broader 
than the third. 11. 
5. Palpi with a hair-tuft at the end of the 3rd joint. 31. Scopelodes 
— Palpi without a hair-tuft at the end.6. 
6. Antennae of $ plain, without pectinations, posterior tibiae often only with terminal spurs 34. Monema 
— Antennae of $ pectinated at least basally, posterior tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs . 7. 
7. Cell of hindwing connected with vein 8 before the centre of the cell .... 8. 
—- Connection between 8 and the cell at or behind the centre of the cell ... 36. Elassoptila 
8. Vein 8 of hindwing with several small costal veins extending towards the costal margin 9. 
— Small costal veins from 8 absent on hindwing.10. 
9. Posterior angle of the cell on hindwing projecting by % or % °f the anterior margin 
of the cell . 68. Susica p. p. 
— Posterior angle of the cell on hindwing slightly projecting. 35. Hedraea 
10. Vein 10 of forewing arises from the cell. 32. Hyphorma 
— Vein 10 of fore wing stalked with 7—9. 33. Hyphormides 
11. Vein 11 of forewing strongly bent, mostly right after the origin, therefore closely 
adjacent to 12.12. 
— Vein 11 of forewing slightly bent, not very near to 12 (imagines with some kind of 
green markings always belong to this genus). It is not always easy to judge this 
mark, in doubtful cases both the alternatives are to be folloAved up.38. 
12. Antennae longer than forewing. (G) or just as long, thickened. 6. Limacocera 
—■ Antennae shorter than fore wing.13. 
13. Palpi long upcurved, mostly reaching to the vertex, longer than the diameter of 
the eye, posterior tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs.14. 
— Palpi shorter; if long, they are porrect, posterior tibiae with 1 or 2 pairs of spurs. 
(If E antennae are plain, compare also Narosa!) .17. 
14. Antennae ciliated or plain ((J).15. 
— Antennae of G pectinated. 9. Squamosala 
15. 8—10 of forewing stalked, 7 separate. 45. Geratonema p. p. 
— 7—9 or 7—10 of fore wing stalked.16. 
16. 8 of hindwing nearing the cell as far as the centre, 11 of forewing slightly bent . 34. Monema p. p. 
- 8 of hind wing divergent with the cell soon after the origin, 11 strongly bent . 7. Narosa 
17. Vein 10 of fore wing distantly separated from the stalk of 8 + 9, 2 pairs of spurs 
present on the posterior tibiae.18. 
— Vein 10 of fore wing arises together with 8 + 9, or stalked.24. 
18. Forewing without a dent of scales at the centre of the inner margin, the cross-vein 
between 8 and the anterior margin of the cell on the hindwing often before the centre 
of the cell .19. 
— F ore wing with a dent of scales at the inner margin, cross-vein between 8 and the anterior 
margin of the cell on the hindwing at % of it, antennae of G pectinated to the ends 13. Rkamnosa 
19. 6 + 7 of hindwing from the same place or stalked . . .20. 
— 6 and 7 of hindwing arise distantly separated. 8. Arbelarosa
