364 DESCRIPTIONS OF MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



rounded, cilia 1. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibia? smoothly- 

 scaled, with a few hairs above. Fore wings with vein 7 to apex, 2 

 from considerably before angle of cell. Hind wings normal. 



This genus is at present rather isolated. In the structure of the 

 palpi, and the yellew and rosy colouring it recalls ffypercallia, 

 which differs in venation. Until some connecting forms are 

 discovered, it cannot be determined whether the genus should 

 be placed here, or, as is very possible, referred to the neighbour- 

 hood of Hoplitica.
