Palpi compressi, ascen- denies, nunguam incumbentes, caput semper superantes, nonnun- quam super thoracem reversi, nonnunquam porrecti; articulus 2us longus; 3us bene determinatus, 20 sepe flexus.

Pedes longi, non villosi; tibie antice femoribus valde breviores, sepe tumide et fasciculate ; intermedize bicalcarate ; postice quadricalcarate ; calcaria longa, valida.

Proboscis slender, ‘most often distinct and of moderate length, occasionally very short. _Palpi compressed, ascending, never incumbent, always extending beyond the head, BometiEnes reverted and applied to the thorax ; _ second joint long; third distinct, often forming a flexure with the second.

Abdomen long, not robust, hardly pilose. Legs long, not pilose; fore tibia much shorter than the femora, often inflated and tufted; middle tibie with two spurs; hind tibie with four spurs, which are generally long and stout. — Wings ample, delicate, rarely denticulated, never elevated or wrapped round the body in repose; the fore pair never entirely hiding the hind pair. Fore wings most often with an areolet above the discal one, of which it is independent, always curved, and having about it the superior veins, which are unequally located ; four inferior veins; submedian vein simple. Hind wings with the costal and subcostal veins united near their origin; the first simple ; the second forked. Guenée’s arrangement, which separates this tribe from the Noctuttes, will probably be much modified by future observations, | for in the latter group several of the families are more distinct from | each other than some of them are from many species which that author includes in the Deltovdiies.

The first corresponds to the second, and the second to the third, of the © European groups ; the third much resembles the second, but differs — in the markings of the fore wings; the fourth differs from the first in the more oblique exterior border of the fore wings; the fifth has some resemblance to Herminia in the structure of the palpi; in the sixth the fore wings are less ample, and in the seventh they are more elongate than those of the first group; the eighth is dis- tinguished by its short palpi.

The genera Thyris, and Arna (Cat. Lep. Het. viii. 72, 75), especially the latter, have much resemblance to this genus. Several species of Z'diodes obviously belong to Desmia, and the former genus is here restricted to 4’. flavibasalis, and to a few nearly allied species. Some species of Hyalitis are also transferred to Desmia, as they appear to be more nearly allied to it than to H. reginalis, the type of that genus. North America. 1. DESMIA FUNERALIS.
