from ^ to I : cilia light grey, towards base whiter, round apex 

 wholly white or ochreous-white, with a grey dot. Hind wings and

•42. DiPLOTHECTIS, n.g. 



Head rough, face smooth ; ocelli present ; tongue developed. 

 Antennae §, in ^ filiform, simple, basal joint moderate, with large 

 "strong pecten. Labial palpi very short, porrected, loosely scaled. 

 Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibise clothed with long very 

 dense hairs. Forewings with vein 1 simple, 3 absent, 4 absent, 6 

 absent, 7 to costa, 8 absent, 9 absent, 11 from before middle. 

 Hindwings |, narrow-lanceolate, cilia 4 ; cell open between 3 

 and 5, 4 absent, 5 and 6 stalked, 6 to hindmargin. 



Although closely related to the neighbouring genera, it is not 

 apparent with which it is most nearly connected. The labial 

 palpi are peculiarly short. The neuration seems to be as I have 

 described, but I have only the one specimen for examination.
