Though the head and legs are much as in Acidalia, yet the wings are so 

 much elongated, especially the hinder pair, that the species to be described 

 below must form the type of a distinct genus. Head much as in Acidalia, 

 the front being rather wide and flat; palpi short and small; male antennae 

 slightly denticulated and densely ciliated; in female, simple. Fore wings long 

 and narrow, much produced toward the apex; outer edge very oblique. 

 Hind wings very long and narrow, oblong, not reaching when expanded the 

 end of the abdomen, with sometimes a deep notch in outer edge. The vena- 

 tion differs from that of Acidalia in the presence of two subcostal cells. 

 The independent vein is nearer the subcostal vein than usual. Legs as in 

 Acidalia. 



The two species known differ from those of Acidalia in the long, narrow 

 wings, and rounded hind pair; while they differ from Eois in having two sub- 

 costal cells. The coloration is not very uniform, one species being pale 

 brown with dark fine lines, and the. other ornamented with bright pink 



bands.
