 obtuse. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae clothed with long 

 hairs above. Forewings with 2 from angle, 2^4 approximated, 5 and 6 

 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 9 approximated, 11 from rather 

 before middle. Hindwings , narrow-lanceolate, cilia 3 ; cell open 

 between 3 and 5, 4 absent, 5 and 7 approximated towards base.

 6 mm. x 2'5 mm., widest about middle and narrowed towards ex- 

 tremities, convex dorsally and with lateral downward-curved flaps so

 loose rough scales above and beneath, terminal joint about * of 

 second, in <$ slender, porrected, in concealed in loose rough scales. 

 Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above.
