DEPKESSAKIAD^E. 



Head smooth. Antennas in male simple. Labial palpi 

 recurved, pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, not developed. 

 Forewings with vein 1 furcate at base, 2 from or near angle of 

 cell, 7 and 8 stalked (rarely coincident), 7 to costa or apex 

 (rarely to hindmargin). Hindwings not broader than forewings, 

 hindmargin rounded, veins 3 and 4 from a point or stalked, 

 G and 7 separate, nearly parallel. 



The family, not a very large one, is but scantily represented 

 in New Zealand and Australia ; it is closely allied to the (Eco- 

 phoridce, from which it differs essentially only by the simple 

 antennas of male. 



7. Ph^osaces, n. g. 



Head loosely haired ; no ocelli ; tongue well developed. 

 Antennas f, in male subserrate, simple, basal joint moderately
