Male. — Palpi obliquely ascending, long; second joint fringed above 

 and below; third joint sbort, somewhat hairy. Antennae pubescent 

 ciliate. Legs smooth. Fore wings narrow; apex acute; outer mar- 

 gin obliquely rounded; vein 3 before lower angle; 4 and 5 from lower

Type of genus. — Mursa calisalis Walker, the name sinking as a 

 synonym of sotiusalis {Hypena) Walker;^ also= Megatomis ? judica-

The genus also contains the following species:

It is possible that these all represent one species, the forms are ex- 

 tremely variable and impossible to separate satisfactorily.

 head; second joint fringed above with long hairs. Antennae pubes- 

 cent cihate. Legs smoothly scaled. Fore wings: Veins 3, 4, 5 

 equally apart; 6 from upper angle; 7, 8, 10 from end of areole; 9 on 

 long stalk with 8; 11 free. Hind wings: Veins 3 and 4 from lower 

 angle; 5 well above angle; 6 and 7 from upper angle.
