obliquely sinuate, waved ; whitish-ochreous or pale yellowish- 

 ochreous, irrorated with reddish-brown, in Q wholly suffused 

 with reddish-brown ; lines cloudy, dark reddish-fuscous, sub- 

 dentate, first curved, second rather curved, sinuate towards 

 extremities ; median shade thick, cloudy, dark reddish-fuscous, 

 somewhat curved and sinuate, space between this and second line 

 in $ suffused with reddish-fuscous ; second line followed towards 

 costa by three cloudy somewhat confluent whitish spots, beyond 

 which is a fuscous suffusion. Hindwings with hindmargin in <J

4. Osteodes, Gn. 



Face with strong well-defined tuft of scales. Tongue developed. 

 Palpi moderately long, porrected, rough-scaled, tolerably pointed,

 ending in long tufts of cilia. Thorax not crested, glabrous beneath. 

 Femora glabrous; posterior tibiae in $ slightly dilated. Forewings 

 in (J with well-marked fovea ; 10 rising out of 11, connected with 

 9 (or in exotic species absent), 11 anastomosing with 12. Hind- 

 wings normal. 



Includes one Australian and one African species, which agree 

 in all structural characters except the neural difference noted 

 above, which does not seem to call for generic separation.
