 Corel Jirce valde affinis. Os longius. Os et rostrum conjunctim capitc 

 lougiora. llostrum proboscide vix brevius. Palpi 4-articulati, pro- 

 Ijoscide duplo longiores ; articulus primus brevis ; quartus tertio 

 paidlo longior. Antennaj 16 - articulata? ; articuli primus ct se- 

 cuudus breves, moniliformes ; tertius sequentibus longior et crassior ; 

 ullimus linearis. Ungues graciles, acuti, dente gracili acuto basali. 

 Eostrum almost as long as the proboscis. Mouth along with the 

 rostrum longer than the rest of the head. Palpi four-jointed, twice as 

 long as the proboscis ; first joint short ; fourth a little longer than the 

 third. Antennce sixteen-jointed ; first and second joints short, monili- 

 form ; third longer and thicker than those which follow ; the single 

 joints incrassated at the base, verticillate ; they increase in length to 

 the last, which is linear. Wings distinctly but finely veined ; two fur- 

 cated veins, with their fork nearly eciuidistant from the base of the 

 wing, and therefore that of the anterior further from the margin, as 

 long as one-third of the wing ; the branches more than twice as long 

 as the petiole ; brachial areolets coterminous ; the pobrachial irregular 

 at the apex ; posterior vein (subanal) inilected at an angle a little before 

 the margin, and running along the margin towards the apex of the 

 wing ; this vein, as usu;il, doubled by a spurious one ; one longitudinal 

 vein behind it. Ungues slender, acute, one-third of the length of the 

 fifth tarsal joint; a slender acute tooth at the base, half as long as the 

 ungues. The wings are nearly as in Corel lira, only the transverse vein- 

 lets rather more distant from the margin. The figure, development of 

 the mesosternum, and antenn;io nmch alike ; the month longi'r and more 

 deflected.
