Pseudarla, new genus 



Type-species: Pseudarla miranda, new species. 



Antenna nearly as long as forewing, thickened in male (female

 second segment long, moderately slender, slightly roughened beneath ; 

 third segment nearly as long as second, slender, acute. Head smooth,

 with moderately long scales above. Forewing smooth, apex pointed, 

 termen strongly oblique; 12 veins; 2 remote from 3; 3 from slightly 

 before angle of cell; 3, 4, and 5 nearly equidistant at bases; 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwing with 8 veins; 2 distant from 3; 3 from 

 well before angle of cell; 6 and 7 long stalked.

Pseudarla is similar to Aria Clarke and Lita Treitschke and all 

 possess unusually long antennae. On the uncus in all three genera the 

 posterior surface is densely clothed with long hairlike scales. Pseudarla 

 can be distinguished from both Aria and Lita by the stalked veins
