Hind wing with veins 1 a and 1 h present; 1 c absent; the cell about half the length of wing; veins 8, 4 from angle; 5 fullv developed from above angle; 6, 7 from upper angle ; 8 anastomosing with the cell near base onlv. The Momince form a very natural and well-characterized sub- family, very homologous in appearance except for Epicmisis and EI i/d nodes. The Larva' have all the pro-legs fully developed, the wai-ts with loose tufts of hairs; in Moma, Diphthera, and Calocasia there are dorsal pencils of hair, but in Charadra and Elceodes there are no hair pencils.
