Key to the genera of the Limacodidae. By Dr. M. Bering. 
Vein 10 of forewing arises from the same place or separated from 8 + 9, 8 of hind¬ 
wing with a branch towards the costal margin, $ ± hyaline ....... 
44. Vein 8 of forewing fused with the anterior margin of the cell at least as far as the 
centre (rarely arising before, in which case wings of ± hyaline). 
Vein 8 of hindwing anastomosing with the anterior margin of the cell as far as % 
at most, mostly only at the base, or connected by a cross-vein. 
45. Tibiae without any spur. 
— Posterior tibiae with terminal spurs. 
46. Palpi straightly porrect or drooping, rarely straightly erect. 
— Palpi rising bent . 
47. Vein 10 of forewing stalked with 7—9, green markings always absent .... 
— Vein 10 of fore wing separated or from the same place with 7—9, or green markings present 
48. Posterior angle of cell strongly projecting on hindwing, 7 of forewing arises after 10 
from the stalk of 8 + 9. 
Posterior angle of cell slightly projecting on hindwing, 10 of fore wing arises after 7 
49. Vein 8 of hindwing connected with the anterior margin of the cell at its centre by 
a cross-vein. 
- Cross-vein between 8 and the cell, if present, before the centre of the cell . 
50. Discocellular vein of forewing bifurcated, or apple-green colourings present 
Discocellular vein of fore wing plain, green colouring always absent (cf. also the Au¬ 
stralian Parasa!) .: . 
51. Frenulum absent. Antennae of basally pectinated.. 
— Frenulum present.. 
52. Antennae of rf only basally pectinated, hindwing with costal veinlets from 8 towards 
the costal margin. 
Antennae of $ only basally pectinated, hindwing without costal veinlets. Forewing 
long and narrow. (If wings are broad cf. Parasa!) . 
53. Vein 10 of fore wing arises separately from the cell, palpi upcurved to the vertex 
■ Vein 10 of forewing stalked with 8 + 9. 
54. Posterior angle of cell strongly projecting. Antennae of G plain. 
— Posterior angle of cell scarcely projecting (cf. also Dinawides) . 
55. Vein 6 of fore wing arises from the centre of the cross-vein. 
—- Vein 6 of forewing arises near the stalk of 7—9. 
56. Veins 6 + 7 of hind wing arise from the same place or stalked. 
— Veins 6 and 7 of hind wing arise separately. 
57. Veins 3 + 4 of hindwing arise from the same place or stalked. 
Veins 3 and 4 of hindwing arise separately from the cell. 
58. Vein 10 of forewing arises separately from the cell. 
Vein 10 of forewing is stalked with 8 + 9. 
59. Vein 10 of forewing on a long stalk with 8 + 9, the palpi do not extend beyond 
the vertex . 
Vein 10 of forewing from the same place or separated from 8 + 9, palpi extend 
beyond vertex. 
60. Fore wing lacks one vein, since 8 + 9 are fused (cf. also Darna catenata) 
- All the veins present in the forewing. 
61. Veins 3 + 4 of hindwing stalked. 
Veins 3 and 4 of hindwing arise from the same place at most, or separated . 
62. Veins 7 + 10 of forewing stalked, or 7 and 10 arise together with the stalk of 8 + 9 
Either 7 or 10 of fore wing or both arise separately from the stalk of 8 + 9 
63. Vein 10 of forewing arises distally to 7 from the stalk of 8 + 9. 
- Vein 7 of fore wing arises distally to 10. 
64. Antennae of <$ pectinated or serrated. 
— Antennae of plain. 
65. Vein 11 of forewing arises opposite 2. 
— Vein 11 of forewing arises far basad to 2. 
66. Vein 8 of hindwing nearing the anterior margin of the cell as far as beyond its centre, 
3 and 4 distantly separated. 
— Vein 8 of hindwing tending away from the anterior margin of the cell right after 
its origin. 
67. Veins 3 and 4 of hindwing arise separately (cf. also Macroplectra!) . 
- Veins 3+4 arise from the same place.
