a waved black subterminal line, incurved between veins 6 and 5 ; some slight 

 black irroration before termen ; cilia pale with a darker line at middle. Hind- 

 wing pale red-brown with a slight golden gloss ; cUia yellowish white at tips. 

 Underside red-brown, the inner area of forewing whitish.

(J. Head and thorax fulvous yellow, with a ridge of deep rufous scales 

 between the antennae and some marks on tegulae and patagia, the frons with 

 some deep rufous at side ; abdomen silky yellowish white, with some deep 

 rufous in the dorsal crests and at sides ; pectus and legs yellowish white mixed 

 with some deep rufous, the forelegs deep rufous. Forewing silky yellowish white, 

 the area below and beyond the cell with numerous deep rufous lines formed by 

 striae, the costal area and cell with minute deep rufous and chocolate-brown 

 spots ; three strong, deep, rufous bars below basal half of cell ; a small chocolate- 

 brown discoidal spot. Hindwing glossy yellowish white tinged with rufous, the 

 terminal area faintly striated with rufous. Underside yellowish white tinged 

 with rufous, both wings with series of small rufous spots on the costa and the 

 terminal area striated with rufous.

Proboscis and palpi absent ; frons rounded ; antennae of male bipectinate 

 with long branches on basal third, then cUiated ; fore tibiae with the process on 

 inner side as long as the tibiae, the mid and hind tibiae without spurs. Forewing 

 with vein 1 a forming a fork with 16, 1 c in male anastomosing with 1 b towards 

 termen, then separating or becoming coincident with it to termen, in female 

 separate throughout ; veins 2 and 3 at intervals long before angle of cell ; 4, 5 

 from angle of cell in male, 5 from just above angle in female ; 6 from far below 

 upper angle ; 7 from upper angle ; 8, 9 coincident ; 10 from towards angle of 

 cell ; 1 1 from about middle of cell ; the cell with an almost obsolete veinlet in 

 discal fold met by a recurved veinlet from beyond origin of vein 3 towards which 

 it is strongly developed, the discocellulars very strongly angled. Hindwing with 

 veins \a, b, c present ; the cell very long and rounded at extremity ; veins 2 

 and 3 at intervals from long before angle of cell ; 4, 5 coincident ; 6 from far 

 below upper angle ; 7 from angle ; 8 coincident with the cell and vein 7 through- 

 out ; the female with forked veinlet in the cell ; the male with the costa strongly 

 lobed at middle ; frenulum fully developed. 



In key differs from the M egalopygidae in the hindwing having vein 8 coin- 

 cident with the cell and vein 7 throughout instead of anastomosing with the 

 cell to middle or to near extremity, then separate, and from the Soinabrachidae 

 in having vein 6 from far below the angle of cell instead of shortly stalked with 

 it, and in having the female winged. 



It is closely allied to the Cossidae of the Zeuzera group and the larvae are 

 certain to be wood-borers.
