3. Genus ; ^coto$^raiiima S7nith. 
Antennae of (J ciliated, and also the other characters as in the preceding genera. Frons with a rouncl 
projection and a vertical edge. Abdomen with a dorsal tuft only at the base and besides with lateral hair. Type; 
submarina Grote from America.

and reniform macula very indistinctly edged with brown. Exterior line double, notched, indistinct. The light 
submarginal line is formed by dark spots on its inner side and by the dark distal margin. Hindwing diaphanous

4. Genus: Polia 0. 
Antennae differently shaped in the two groups. Frons without a projection. Abdomen only with a 
basal tuft. Chest and tibiae long-haired. Veins 6 and 7 of the hindwing sometimes on a short stalk. The genus 
is better known than Mamestra 0. Beside the species of Mmnestra, Hampson has united also the Dkmfhoecia 
Bsd. and various smaller groups with Folia. Type; cappa Hbn. from Europe. The generic name was changed 
into Miselia in the Novit. Zool.
