Cidariophanes gen. nov. 



Forewiw/s : twice as long as broad ; costa curved at base, then nearly straight to 

 apex, which is blunt and rectangular; himlmargin irregularly waved, vertical above, 

 the lower third oblique ; anal angle rounded off. 



Hiiuhvhigs : rather elongate; hiudmargin wavj-, with lioth angles rounded. 



Abdomen of S short ; palpi porreet, short ; second joint hairy, third smooth, small ; 

 antennae simple, but thick ; hind tibiae thickened, with four spurs. 



Neuration : forewings, cell rather more than half the length of wing ; first median 

 at five-sixths, second and third together from lower angle of cell ; radials as usual ; 

 la.st subcostal from just before end of cell, first four on common stem from five-sixths. 

 Hindwiugs, costal approximated to subcostal for three-fourths of cell ; two subcostals 

 from upper angle ; first median at five-sixths, second a little before the end of cell, 

 third from the end ; this and the second subcostal both curved inwards, and the space 

 between them consequently narrowed. Scaling smooth, the markings reminding one
