Apistomorpha, n. g. 



Head smooth. ; witli ocelli ; tongue moderate. Antennae much, 

 shorter than fore-wings, slender, filiform. No maxillary palpi. 

 Labial palpi rather short, thick, arched; second joint beneath 

 with a loose rather long tuft of projecting hairs, terminal joint 

 loosely scaled, slender, pointed. Fore-wings elongate, hind- 

 margin oblique, sinuate beneath apex, apex rounded, produced. 

 Hind-wings ovate-lanceolate, rather pointed, narrower than 

 fore- wings, cilia as broad as hind- wings. Abdomen rather 

 elongate. Legs rather short, smoothly scaled. Fore-wings 

 with 12 veins; secondary cell indicated ; 7 and 8 stalked, one 

 to each side of apex ; 1 very shortly furcate at base. Hind- 

 wings with 8 veins ; 3 and 4 from posterior angle of cell. 



Closely allied to Glyphiptet^yx, and in superficial appearance 

 extremely similar, but characterised clearly by the stalking of 

 veins 7 and 8 of forewings, and the tuft on second joint of 

 palpi; in the latter character it resembles Fhrijganostola, but 

 differs in the venation. 



The habits of the imago are similar to those of Glyphipteryx ; 

 it has the same motion of fanning its wings when at rest. The 

 larva is yet unknown.

(^ $ . 3|"-4|^". Head and thorax dark fuscous. Palpi white 

 at base, second joint with two whorls of black white-tipped 

 scales, produced beneath to form a rough tuft of black and white 

 hairs ; terminal joint black, clothed except extreme apex with 

 two whorls of black white-tipped hairs. Antennae dark fuscous. 

 Abdomen dark fuscous, with silvery-whiti?h rings. Legs dark 

 fuscous, all tarsi with slender white rings at apex of joints, 

 posterior tibise with white central and apical bands, posterior 

 tarsi with two apical joints wholly white. Fore- wings rather 

 short, rather narrow, hind-margin distinctly sinuate ; dark
