52. Epipyrga, Meyr. 



Head smooth, sidetufts small. Antennae in g moderately and 

 evenly ciliated (H), basal joint moderate, without pecten (?). 

 Palpi moderate, second joint not exceeding base of antennas, 

 densely scaled, rather rough beneath, terminal joint as long as 

 second, moderate, recurved. Thorax with a dense posterior crest. 

 Fore wings elongate, moderate, hindmargin very oblique. Hind- 

 wings narrower than forewings, elongate-ovate, hindmargin 

 rounded, cilia 1. Abdomen moderate. Anterior tarsi slightly 

 thickened with scales ; middle tibiae with a projecting median 

 whorl of scales ; posterior tibia? clothed with long dense hairs. 

 Forewings with vein 7 to apex, 2 frjm somewhat before angle of 

 cell. Hindwings normal. 



In the tabulation of genera it is erroneously stated that vein 7 

 of the forewings terminates in the hindmargin ; I have since 

 satisfied myself that it really terminates in the apex, and hence, 

 considering also the characters of the strong thoracic crest, and 

 slight dilation of the anterior tarsi, it is clear that the resemblance 

 to Coisyra is merely superficial, and that the genus should 

 properly be placed next to Piloprepes, to which it is certainly 

 nearly related, being perhaps a development from it. It differs 

 from Piloprepes in the absence of tufts on the forewing, in the 

 much slighter dilation of the tarsi, and apparently also in the 

 absence of the antennal pecten, but the latter character requires 

 verification on further specimens.
