as long as second, pointed. Maxillary palpi short, porrected,

 simple, 2 and 3 short-stalked from angle of cell, 4 absent, 5 absent,

 from |. Hiudwings 1, very elongate-ovate, cilia 1 ; 3 and 5 short- 

 stalked, 4 absent, 8 closely approximated to cell. 



A remarkable genus, which has undergone much modification,

 Africa, and it is probable that the genus may be African in origin, 

 and that its nearest relatives should be sought there.
