PLATE XXIX. Fig. 2. 
Phalaena netrix. Cramer, pi, it/U E. 
This moth, remarkable for the great length of the 
antennae, legs, and abdomen, belongs to the Geome- 
tridas, agreeing with various species of that family 
in the subfalcate and angulated form of the wings. 
The head is small ; the palpi about as long as the 
head, and compressed. The antennae as long as the 
body, and strongly bipectinated to the tips in the 
males, but simple in the females (if it be correct to 
refer this species to Cramer's figure above cited). 
The fore wings are long, slightly falcate at the tips, 
and angulated in the middle of the outer margin ; 
the hind wings are somewhat lozenge-shaped, with 
the margins scolloped, and strongly angulated in 
the middle. The abdomen is exceedingly long, as 
are also the anterior tarsi, which are very slender, 
with a small tuft of scales on the outside, close 
to the bar, where the joint is slightly curved. The 
femora and tibiae of the fore legs are short, the for- 
mer with long slender hairs beneath, and the latter 
with fascicles of scales. The hind legs are wanting
