Summary: | 1816—Hübner, Verzeichniss, 192. 1864—Pack., Proc. Ent. Soc., Phil., III., 122. 1874—Strech, Zyg. & Bomb., 191. The head is small and retracted; tongue obsolete, palpi very small and weak; antennæ moderately long, bipectinated in the male, simple in the female; the pectinations are long and extend to the tip; legs short and weak, all the spurs present, but very short: the two paris of the posterior tibiæ close together. The tarsal claws are as in Spilosoma , and, indeed, there is no structural difference between these two genera. Antarctia has shorter, broader wings, somewhat longer vestiture, and is not white! |
