to the fold, which it touches in two places, and thence outward branching beyond the cell to the costa 
and termen; there are some small dark costal spots near the base, a large one on the middle, and a 
rather smaller one before the costal cilia, connected with the median shade in which a whitish dot lies 
at the end of the cell; three more umber-brown spots form a series round the apex and termen, 
connected by a line at the base of the pale cilia through which they extend. xp. al. 15-22 mm.

Type: Drastea mexica Wism. (Tab. X. fig. 18.) ° 
Antennae (broken) simple, basal joint without pecten. Labial Palpi with long hair-scales, projecting beneath 
the median joint and beyond the short terminal joint. Maxillary Palpi and Haustellum rudimentary. 
. Head rough. Thorax with appressed scales. orewings with the costa straight from the base (¢ with 
a narrow costal fold extending to beyond the middle), abruptly depressed at two-thirds, the apex uncate, 
termen very oblique, forming only a slight bend at the tornus, where the wing is at its greatest width : 
-neuration 12 veins, all separate ; 7 to costa. Hindwings broadly lanceolate, termen oblique: neuration 
 § veins, all separate; 5 nearer to 6 than to 4. Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae and first tarsal 
joint clothed above with long hairs. 
Closely allied to Amydria Clms., with which it agrees in neuration, but differs in 
wing-form, and in the less tufted palpi.
