CATALEXIS, gen. n. 
(xarddekts =a choosing.) 
Type: Catalexis tapinota Wlsm. (Tab. 1. fig. 18.) 







J. H. Durrant, del. 
5. Catalexis tapinota Wlsm. 9. 
Antennae (—1), slightly serrate ; basal joint without’ pecten. Labial Palpi recurved, terminal joint shorter 
than median; median joint without brush-like scales beneath. Mawillury Palpi rudimentary. 
Haustellum present. Head and Thorax smooth. vrewings, costa straight, or slightly depressed beyond 
middle, apex obtusely depressed, termen oblique, dorsum nearly parallel with costa, but slightly 
narrowing towards base: neuration 12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa; 9 out of stalk of 74+ 8; 
2-6 separate. Hindwings 1, costa straight, apex acuminate, scarcely depressed, termen very slightly 
sinuate, oblique, tornus pronounced, dorsum very slightly rounded, almost parallel with costa: neuration 
8 veins; 5 cubital, 2-5 remote; 6 and 7 stalked. Abdomen normal. Legs smooth. 
Perhaps allied to Logisis Wlsm., but differing in the form of the palpi, and in the 
stalking of HW: 6-7. It differs from Brachmia Hb. in FW: 2-3 and HW: 3-4 
being separate, not stalked; from Acanthophila Hnmn. in FW: 7-8 not being 
coincident; and from Stomopteryx Hnmn. in having FW: 9 out of stalk of 7+-8.
