narrow on lower third, dilated above to enclose a clear space,

Sydney, New South Wales ; Mount Lofty, South Australia ; in

Face with slight cone of scales. Antennse in ^ ciliated. Palpi 

 moderately long, porrected, rough-scaled. Posterior tibiae with 

 all spurs present. Forewings with areole simple. Hindwings 

 with veins 6 and 7 stalked. 



This genus appears specially characteristic of South America, 

 where it is rather numerously represented ; I am acquainted

 small locally-developed group of Australian species, probably 

 derived from the Indo-Malayan source.
