shorter than second, slender, erect. Thorax smooth. Forewings 

 elongate, hindmargin very oblique. Hindwings distinctly narrower 

 than forewings, elongate-ovate, hindmargin rounded, cilia 5. 

 Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae with short scanty hairs. 

 Forewings with vein 7 to hindmargin, 2 from somewhat before 

 angle of cell. Hindwings normal. 



Although the £ is unknown, I have little doubt that the 

 antennal characters will be much as in Pleurota, to which it is 

 apparently allied, differing especially by the structure of palpi.

Minor, alis ant. dilutius fiavis, punctis disci tribus nigris, fascia 

 submarginali dilute fusca ; post, griseo-albidis, apice gi'iseo. 



Q. li mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax light ochreous- 

 yellow ; palpi with second joint dark fuscous except towards base 

 and apex ; antennae annulated with dark fuscous. Abdomen and 

 legs ochi-eous-whitish, anterior pair internally dark fuscous. Fore- 

 wings elongate, costa gently arched, apex pointed, hindmargin very 

 obliquely rounded ; light ochreous-yellow ; extreme base of costa 

 black ; a black dot in disc before middle, a second directly beneath 

 it on fold, and a third larger in disc beyond middle ; a moderate 

 obscure light fuscous submarginal band from costa before apex to

 base of antennae, densely scaled, beneath with roughly projecting 

 rather long hair scales, terminal joint half as long as second, slender, 

 obliquely ascending. Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, hind-
