9. 28 mm. Head brown-whitish; fillet white; face purple- 

 reddish. Palpi 1,[; terminal joint 1^ .second; purple-reddish, 

 beneath whitish. Antennae towards base wliite, towards apex 

 grey. Thorax and abdomen brownish-grey. Legs whitish- 

 ochreous; anterior pair dull purple. Forewings triangular, costa 

 rather strongly arched towards apex, apex round-pointed, termen 

 bowed, oblique; brownish-grey; traces of a fuscous, transverse 

 line at I; a conspicuous dark fuscous median discal dot; a slender, 

 finely dentate, fuscous line from J costa to J termen; cilia 

 brownish-grey. Hindwings with termen rounded; colour and 

 markinfjs as forewings.

Face smooth. Tongue well developed. Palpi porrect, elongate; 

 second joint far exceeding frons; terminal joint elongate. 

 Antennae in $ with a double row of long pectinations, apical J 

 simple. Posterior tibiae of $ extremely short, densely clothed 

 with long hairs beneath, usually with three long terminal spurs; 

 first tarsal joint immensely elongate; posterior tibiae of 9 normal, 

 with all spurs present. Forewings with 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 11 

 anastomosing with 8 -t- 9 beyond 7 forming a narrow areole. 

 Hindwings with 3 and 4 separate, connate, or short-stalked, 5 

 from middle of cell, 6 and 7 separate, connate, or short-stalked. 



This and the following genera form a large group of species 

 characteristic of the Indo-Malayan region. The structure of the 

 female corresponds to the above definition throughout, except 

 that the areole may be absent, 11 arising from 8-1-9 beyond 7. 

 But the male sex shows much variability of structure. The most 

 trustworthy characters for generic division are found in the 

 structure of the posterior legs of the male. The genus Mesotrophe
