second joint shortly rough-haired beneath, terminal joint short, 

 distinct. Posterior tibire fringed with hairs above. Forewings 

 moderately broad, costa gently arched, in male simple, hindmargin 

 rounded. Hindwings rounded-elongate, broader than forewings. 

 Forewings with veins 7 and 8 separate, vein 7 running to hind- 

 margin, secondary cell distinct. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 

 rising from a point, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 separate, 

 diverging. 



Larva sixteen-legged, feeding in rolled leaves. 



The genus only differs from Penthina in the form of the palpi, 

 which are bent upwards and appressed to the face ; but unless 

 the two genera can be connected by indefinable gradations, this 

 appears to me a sufficient point of distinction. 



I have two Australian species ; the genus is scantily represented 

 in Europe.
