 Palpi long, ascending, rough scaled, end member horizontal ; 

 tongue strong ; front somewhat hair tufted; antenniTe deeply biden- 

 tate in S ; thorax hairy scaled, hairy below ; abdomen scaled, 

 somewhat tufted ; hind tibiiB somewhat swollen, without hair pencil ; 

 fore wings angulate, without fovea below, 12 or 18 veins, 10 and 1 1 

 from cell; hind wings somewhat angulate, 5 inideveloped, (5 and 7 

 separate, 8 separate from cell. 



The oidy specimen of pdlliKhiiii 1 have has 18 veins, the IMtli 

 reaching from 12 to costa. I am convinced this is only a rare aber- 

 ration, which, in a number of examples, 1 have found in other spe- 

 cies. Mr. Warren has suggested a genus Prionotetracis, Nov. Zool. 

 i, 461, 1894, which might be the same as this genus. He gave as 

 type " lathtrujuUi Warr. ined." Neither genus nor species having 

 been describi'd, it does not exist as yet, whether it be the same or 

 different.
