NOTE ON THE STRUCTURE OF NEPHOPTERYX ZIMMERMANI
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
The following note on the structure of Zimmermani is taken from a MS. paper on the N. Am. Phycidæ which I am preparing for publication. I would be glad of more material in this group from any correspondents.
“Pinipestis (sub-gen. nov.).
Maxillary palpi alike in both sexes, concealed by the porrect labial palpi, which have the third article erect and exceed the front. Ocelli present. Male antennæ very slightly bent at base, where they show slight continuous scale-tufts ; ciliate beneath. Fore wings with veins 4 and 5 running close together at base; these veins are seen to have a separate origin, 5 on the cross-vein close to 4, divaricating at one-third from base. Hind wings 8-veined ; vein 5 running close to 4 at base, but separate and continuous with the discal cross-vein. Head behind with a thick transverse ridge of scales; clypeus with a bunchlike projection of scales centrally.”
