Fore wing usually triangular, in Elydnodes with the termen angled at middle ; vein 1 a weak, not anastomosing with 1 & ; 1 c absent;. Fig. 80.—Larva of Moma ludifica. \. veins 3 and 5 from near angle of cell; 6 from upper angle ; 9 from 10 anastomosing with 8 to form the areole, in Calocasia vein 10 arising from 7, 8, 9 ; 11 from cell. Hind wing with veins 1 a and 1 h jDresent; 1 c absent; the cell about half the length of wing; veins 3, 4 from angle; 5 fully developed from above angle; 6, 7 from upper angle ; 8 anastomosing with the cell near base only. The MomincB form a very natm^al and well-characterized sub- family, very homologous in apj)earance except for Epiccmsis and Elydnodes. The LarvcB have all the pro-legs full}^ developed, the warts with looFe tufts of hairs; in Moma, DiplitJiera, and Calocasia there are dorsal pencils of hair, but in Gharadra and Elwodes there are no hair pencils.
