 omitted; the missing lines should read, "Forewings elongate- 

 triangular, costa straight to near apex, apex rounded, termen 

 bowed, oblique; pale yellowish, with a very few dark fuscous 

 strigulse." Forewing with 10 and 11 arising separately from 

 cell and free (\£).

 moderate. Thorax not crested, hairy beneath. Femora smooth. 

 Forewings with 10 and 11 arising separately from cell, 10 anas-
