joint longer than second, slender, acute, with median tuft pos- 

 teriorly. Forewings : 2 and 3 separate, parallel, 7 and 8 stalked,

 beneath. Hindwings over 1, elongate, apex obtuse, termen 

 rounded, cilia over 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated to 4, 6

A development of Ypsolophus, with relation to Anarsia; the 

 scaling of the palpi is unique; in general appearance and in some 

 marked details, such as the exceptional colouring of the middle 

 tibiae, there is close relationship to the peculiar Ypsolophus zygo- 

 jyhorus. Imago with forewings elongate.
