apex pointed; termen oblique; 12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked; 2, 3, 4, and 

 5 separate, nearly equidistant; 2 and 3 from before the corner of the 

 cell; 16 furcate at base. Hindwings as broad or broader than the 

 forewings; apex somewhat produced; termen sinuate; 8 veins; 3 and 



4 separate but approximate; 5 cubital; 6 and 7 separate. Posterior 

 tibisB hairy above. 



A genus for the reception of species immediate between Gelechia 

 Authores and Telplmsa Chambers, differing from the former in hav- 

 ing 3 and 4 of the liindwiiigs separate, not connate, and from the lat- 

 ter in having veins 6 and 7 m the hindwings separate, not stalked. 

 The genus, Arogalea Walsingham ^ conforms to these demands, but 

 differs from the present genus in the approximation of veins 3, 4, and 



5 from the end of the cell in the forewings and by the raised scales of 

 the forewings as well as in the form of the labial palpi. Parastega 

 Meyrick^ differs from the present genus in the form of the palpi and 

 in having veins 3 and 4 of the forewings stalked.
