any branches to inner margin. Veinlet in cell of both wings 

 single or forked. Hind tibia? with no spurs. 



The genus Monda, which I propose to place temporarily 

 in this subfamily, has some characters which make its posi- 

 tion rather uncertain, and may at some future time give rise 

 to the creation of a new subfamily. The running of vein 1 c 

 in the fore wing is quite different from any Psychid known to 

 me. Instead of originating free and then anastomosing with 

 Ih or remaining free, it is stalked with 16 for nearly half the 

 length of this vein, which is short, and ends in the inner 

 margin: Ic then runs parallel to lower median, and ends 

 above the tornus. No spurs or veinlets are given off from 

 these veins. 



Genus Monda 117 A:. 



Monda Wll-., Cat. xxxii, p. 406, 1865. Type, delicatissima Wlk.,. 

 from South Africa. 



Proboscis absent ; palpi very rudimentary ; antenna? short, 

 less than one-third of costa, bipectinate, branches as long as 

 one-third of length of shaft, suddenly becoming shorter at 

 tip, closely ciliated, and each branch ending in one long 

 bristle ; fore, mid, and hind legs short, slender, without any 

 processes or spurs, and very sparsely covered with rather 

 long hair. Fore wing triangular ; costa slightly hollowed 

 out ; apex well rounded ; termen erect, somewhat undulating 

 at the veins ; tornus well rounded ; inner margin nearly 

 straight; cell long, bi'oad at median part of wing; disco- 

 cellular very oblique. Vein 111 simple at base, short, ending at 

 inner margin at two-thirds ; Ic stalked with lb for nearly half 

 the length of 1/', then curved upwards and ending above 

 tornus ; lower median curved upwards ; 2, 3 and 4 far apart 

 and at equal distance ; 5 from 4 as far as half distance 3 to 4 

 and continued in cell as a veinlet ; 6 from middle of distance 

 vein 5 to stalk of 8, 9 ; 7 absent ; 8 and 9 on a stalk of three- 

 fourths, originating from upper angle; 10 absent; upper 

 median well curved downwards from base to two-thirds ; ] 1
