 Gen. Darabitta, n. g. 



Foem. Corpus vix robustum. Proboscis brevis. Palpi longiusculi, 

 oblique ascendentes, non pilosi. Antennce validse, subcompressse, bre- 

 viusculse, simplices. Abdomen conicum, alas posticas non superans. 

 Pedes squamosi, laeves, breviusculi, sat graciles, calcaribus longis. 

 Alee latiusculae, non longse; anticae apud costam rectse, apice sub- 

 rotundatse, margine exteriore vix convexo. 



This genus hardly belongs to the Notodontida ; but its precise situation 

 seems to be uncertain. Female. Body hardly stout. Proboscis short. 

 Pali)i rather long and slender, not pilose, obliquely ascending, rising 

 a little higher than the vertex ; third joint elongate-conical, less than 

 half the length of the second. Antennae stout, bare, slightly com- 

 pressed, little longer than the thorax; joints few. Abdomen conical, 

 not extending beyond the hind wings. Legs squamous, smooth, 

 rather short and slender ; spurs long. Wings rather broad, not long : 

 fore wings straight along the costa, slightly rounded at the tips ; ex- 

 terior border hardly convex, very slightly oblique.
