5. lULOTA, n.g. 



Antennae |, in ^ serrulate, simple, basal joint moderately elon- 

 gate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, ascending, 

 second joint clothed with dense scales, rough beneath, and roughly 

 projecting above towards apex, terminal joint as long as second or 

 shorter, slender, acute. Forewings : 2 and 3 separate, tolerably 

 parallel, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings 1, elongate- 

 trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen sinuate, cilia l|-2; 3 

 and 4 separate, 5 somewhat approximated to 4, 6 and 7 approxi- 

 mated at base. 



Type /. ithyxyla. An endemic development of Aristotelia, 

 distinguished by the peculiar structure of the second joint of 

 palpi. The longitudinally striped species are extremely similar 

 to some in very distinct genera {Macrenches and Gelechia)', the 

 resemblance is probably analogous only. Imago with forewings 

 elongate, acute.
