the wing into two lobes, amounting as it does to scarcely tnorc than a strong inden- 

 tation. Neuraiion, 11 veins, 5 apparently wanting; 1 shortly furcate at base; 2 

 from outer third of cell ; 3 and 4 closely approximate at base, from the anal angle 

 of cell ; 6 and 7 from upper half of cross-vein, enclosing the termination of the 

 short fissure ; 8 and 9 from a common stem, 8 to apex ; 10 arising very close to 

 8 and 9. 



Hind-wings 3-!obed ; first two lobes lanceolate and somewhat wider than the 

 third lobe, which is of even width throughout ; the upper fissure reaches to about 

 one-third the length of the wing, taken from the apex of the second lobe ; the lower 

 fissure, measured by the same lobe, extends to four-fifths of the wing-length ; cilia 

 rather short, without tufts or teeth of scales. Neuration, 8 veins ; 8 to apex of 

 upper lobe. 



Abdomen stout ; much ornamented. 



Legs with equal spurs, not tufted. 



The neuration o£ this genus would place it close to AJucita, L,, 

 as defined by Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1890, 487—8.
