29. Tinaegeria fasciata Wkr. 9. 
Antennae 2 thickly clothed with long scales to half their length, thence simple. Labial Pulpi recurved, 
ascending,” very long and slender; median and terminal joints about equal in length. Mawillary 
Palpi small, drooping. Haustellum long, scaled at base. Ocelli present. Head and Thorax 
smooth. Forewings elongate, the margins nearly parallel, rounded at apex; wing-surface without 
‘ nude space: neuration 12 veins; 7-8 stalked, 7 to costa; rest separate; 1 furcate at base, but 1> and 
1° approximating preparatory to coincidence. Hzndwings partially transparent, widened in the middle, 
tapering toward the base and apex, costa somewhat depressed beyond the middle, apex rounded, dorsum 
evenly rounded: neuration 8 veins; subcosta and radius geminate, becoming coincident outwardly ; 
3-4 separate, but closely approximate [truncate in fasciata Wkr., more remote in ochracea Wkr.]; 
discoidal obliquely receding ; 6 sinuate, remote from 7 at origin, thence bent upward and then receding ; 
5 and 6 continued through cell as upper and lower media; below 4 and lower media the wing-membrane 
is nude, with the exception of the dorsum where scale-attachment punctures are visible as on the rest of 
the wing. Abdomen brightly coloured, not fringed at the edges. Legs: hind tibiae with long spurs, not 
tufted. 
The description and figure of the neuration of Tinaegeria ochracea Wkr., published 
in 1889, contained some inaccuracies which are corrected above. It is now apparent 
that Arauzona Wkr. and Tinaegeria Wkr. are earlier forms from which the more 
specialised Aegeriadae can be derived, and there is no justification for the retention of 
the family Tinaegeriidae Hmsn. [Fn. Br. Ind. Moths 1 12, 206-8 tf. 134-5 (1892)] to 
include Tinaegeria Wkr., Snellenia Wlsm., Eretmocera Z., etc.
