Uieir eomiuon stalk somotimes imperfectly or not developed. Hindwings with 3 

 and 4 approximated or connate. and 7 connate, 8 connected with cell at or shortly 

 before middle. ? with wing-s absent; antennae very short, serrate; posterior 

 tibiae without middle spurs. 



The following species, the only one at present referred to the genus, 

 sliows considerable variability in the venation. When the areole is 

 absent, the position of the lost connecting bar is shown by a slight devia- 

 tion and thickenins: of the two adjacent veins. I have one very abnormai speci- 

 men in which (1) in the right forewing the areole is absent, but indicated as just 

 stated, (2) in the left forewing the areole is more elongate than usual and 7 is 

 connate from its narrow extremity, (3) in the left hindwing 3. 4. 5 are stalked, 

 in the right hindwing 3 and 4 are coincident, 3 and 5 stalked; but both hindwings 

 are smaller than usual, and the right has a pathological notch near tornus. The 

 9 is much degraded, and densely covered throughout with long hairs.
