Though the head and legs are nmeh as in Acidalla, yet the wings are so 

 much elongated, especially the hinder pair, that the species to be described 

 below must form the type of a distinct genus. Head much as in Acidalia, 

 the front being rather wide and flat; palpi short and small; male antenna; 

 slightly denticulated and densely ciliated; in f(!male, simple. Fore wings long 

 and narrow, much produced toward the apex ; outer edge very oblirpie. 

 Hind wings very long and narrow, oblong, not reaching when expanded the 

 end of the alxlomen, with sometimes a deep notch in outer edge. The vena- 

 tion ditlers from that of Acidalia in the presence of two sul:)Costal cells. 

 The independent vein is nearer the subcostal vein than usual. Legs as in 

 Acidalia. 



The two species known differ from those ^li Acidalia in the long, narrow 

 wings, and rounded hind pair; while they dilfer from Eois in having two sub- 

 costal cells. The coloration is not very nnilbrm, one species being pale 

 brown with dark tine lines, and the other ornamented with bright pinU 



bands.
