hairy; posterim- tibiae with miiliUe .spurs absent, terminal spurs miuute. i'ore- 

 wings with 4 and 5 separate, G short-stalked, 7, 8, 9, 10 lung-stalked from cell, 

 about halfway between cell and apex 10 diverges, and by the subapieal cross- 

 bar, which runs from 11 to 9, a small triangular areole is formed, from whien 

 all four veins arise separately. Hindwings long, rhombiform, 3, 4, 5 sejjarate, 

 6 and 7 stalked, 12 anastomosing with cell at a point before middle. 



I have flgured and attempted to explain tlie extraordinary neuratiou of the 

 forewing (Trans. Eut. Soc, 1919.). 



The anastomosis of 12 of hindwings with the cell represents a slmrtening of 

 the persistent vein 11. The genus is a derivative of Mtinichri/ia with consider- 

 able modification.

(J. 24 — 28 nun. Head and thorax grey with some whitish hairs. Palpi 

 fuscous. Antennae whitish ; pectinations fuscous. Abdomen brownish. Legs 

 whitish; anterior pair fuscous with some whitish hairs; all tarsi fuscous with 

 whitish annulations. Forewing's triangular, costa straight, apex pointed, termeu 

 nearly straight, slightly oblique; whitish with fuscous irroration and markings, 

 so as to appear mostly grey; a slightly waved line from i costa to mid-dorsum; 

 a small, median, subcostal discal mark; a rather faint line, strongly bisinuate, 

 from 3 costa to | dorsum; a more distinct, irregularly crenated, subterminal 

 line, edged posteriorly with whitish; an interrupted terminal line; cilia whitish, 

 on tornus mixed with fuscous. Hindwings rhombiform with a rounded pro- 

 minence on vein 3; pale-grey; a faintly darker, wavy, subterminal line; some 

 whitish irroration towards terinen; cilia grey mixed with whitish. Underside 

 grey with darker discal dot and broad subterminal band on both wings. 



In facies this resembles M. se7iic!da Wlk.

Tongue strongly developed. Palpi 2, porreet; second joint with long dense 

 hail's beneath ; terminal joint concealed. Antennae bipectinated to apex in both 

 sexes, but pectinations in ? very short (1). Leg's densely hairy; posterior tibiae 

 with two pairs of short spurs. Forewings with 4 and 5 separate, areolc long. 

 subapieal cross-bar extending from 11 to 10 and 9, sometimes fusing with basal 

 part of 9, all veins arising separately from areole. Hindwing's long, rhombifcirni ; 

 3, 4, 5 separate, 6 and 7 connate or short-stalked, 12 somewhat approximated to 

 cell before middle, and connected with it by 11 which is short, but well developed. 



In a c? example, the subapieal crossbar is fused with that jiart of the areole 

 formed by the base of vein 9 a-s figured by me (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1919, p. 418), 

 but in another <S and a ? I find 9 diverging from 10 before the areole, so that 

 in these examples the structure of the areole is that normal in the family.
