 Wales, 1891, p.621. 



Face sligbtly rougli-scaled. Tongue present. Palpi rather 

 short, porrect, densely hairy: terminal joint very short, obtuse. 

 Antennae in $ laminate, shortly ciliated, apex simple. Thorax 

 not crested, densely hairy beneath. Femora densely hairy; pos- 

 terior tibitie of (J not dilated. Forewings in $ without fovea; 10 

 arising from 9 at or near base, and free (1 (J), or anastomosing 

 with 11 and then with 9 beyond 7 '1(J), or long-stalked with 11 

 (1$). Hindwings normal. 



This genus appears to have lost the fovea. It presents (though 

 my material is scanty) a dimorphism in the neuration similar to 

 that of Lophodes. In the only ^ I have examined, vein 9 is 

 rudimentary, being represented only by a short stump arising 

 from 8 near base. 



26. Melanodes anthracitaria.

 Wlk., Cat. Brit. Mus., xiii , p 1087. 



The sexes are similar, but there is a very distinct, non-sexual, 

 varietal form with whitish bands beyond postmedian lines of 

 both wings, and before antemedian line of forewings.
