Head densely rough-haired, a pair of longer tufts from base of 

 antennae sometimes uniting to form a crest on crown. Eyes 

 naked. Tongue well developed. Palpi short, porrect; second 

 joint with long dense hairs beneath; terminal joint short, abruptly 

 truncate. Antennae in $ bipectinated to apex or nearly so. 

 Thorax densely hairy above and beneath, with a high erect 

 anterior crest. Abdomen with long hairs on base of dorsum. 

 Femora densely hairy; posterior tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 

 Forewings with vein 2 from |, 3 from before angle, 6 from areole 

 near base, 7 from end of areole, 10 from areole. Hind wings 

 with 3 and 4 separate, G and 7 stalked, 8 approximated to near 

 end of cell. 



Type, Neola semiaurata, Wlk. 



Dijffers from Hyleora only in vein 10 of fore wing, which is 

 connected by a bar with 8 + 9 opposite 7, whereas in Neola 

 10 anastomoses with S + 9 for some distance beyond 7. So far as 

 my limited material goes this difference seems, in this instance, 

 to be constant. Should it ultimately prove to be variable the 

 two genera would have to be united. 



1 . Hinclwings goklen-ochreous , semicmrata. 



Hindwings reddish-brown capucina.
