with broad c< koidal shield of scales, scarcely divided into a pecten beneath. 



Maxillary Palpi short, convergent. Labial Palpi recurved, moderately stout, 

 median joint densely clothed, but not roughened; terminal joint shorter than 

 median, bluntly pointed, smooth. Raustellum moderate, scaled. Head and Thorax 

 smooth. Forewings with straightened costa and depressed, lanceolate apex : neura- 

 Hon 12 veins ; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa ; 10 remote from 11, closely approximate 

 to 9 at end of cell ; 3 and 1 connate, 5 closely approximate ; 2 short, erect. Hind- 

 wings (I), tapering from a widened base to a moderately acute apex: neuration 7 

 veins (3 and 4 coincident) ; (3 + 1) and 5 stalked ; 6 and 7 remote, nearly parallel. 

 Abdomen short, compressed. Legs, hind tibiae hairy above. 



This genus agrees with Blastobasis, Z., Prosthesis, Wlstn., and 

 Epistetus, Wlsm., in having 3 and 4 of the hindwings coincident, and 

 stalked, or connate, with 5 ; it differs from Blaslobasis and Prosthesis 

 in having a conchoidal shield of scales on the basal joint of the an- 

 tennae instead of a pecten, and from Epistetus in the antennae not 

 being attenuate at joint 4.

Antennae pale ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous, with brownish dusting on their 

 outer sides. Head and Thorax pale ochreous, the latter with a brownish fuscous 

 patch above. Forewings pale ochreous, dusted with brownish scales, and with a 

 few blackish fuscous spots ; the brown dusting is especially noticeable along the 

 costa, where there is a strong group of brown scales a little before the middle, pre- 

 ceded by blackish dots running to the base along the edge of the cell ; it also appears 

 on the middle of the dorsum, falling into line with two black dots, one on the fold, 

 and one on the cell above and beyond it, and again at the tornus, above which are 

 two more black dots about the end of the cell, a few smaller ones lying around the 

 termen and apex ; cilia pale ochreous, unspotted. Exp. al. 14 — 16 mm. Hind- 

 wings shining, pale greyish cinereous ; cilia pale ochreous. Abdomen blackish, with 

 pale ochreous bars ; anal tuft ochreous. Legs pale ochreous, shaded with brownish 

 on their outer sides.
