Front broad ; vertex and front coiitimioiisly and thickly scaled. Palpi 

 much ascending?, l)road, and rather stout ; lip of second joint truncate, sur- 

 passing the front; third joint minute, obtuse, depressed. Antennae rather 

 narrowly pectinated to the tip. In the female, the pectinations are half as 

 loll'-- as in the male. Thorax slender. Fore wings unusually long and 

 narrow ; costa convex, especially at the base ; apex acute. The angle between 

 the second and the third median venules much rounded and prominent, much 

 excavated below tlie apex, and below the angle in the middle of the wing; 

 more angulated in the female than in the male. Venation as in Plagodis, but 

 the costal region is wider; the costal and first two subcostal venules are 

 shorter; the .second median is shorter'; the third subco.^tal divides much 

 nearer the origin. Hind wings witli the inbn-nal angle not rounded, not 

 reaching to the tip of the alnlomen ; apex rounded ; middle angle of the outer 

 edge large and lounded, the outline being very sinuous. Legs long; hind 

 tibiffi slender; spurs long, and the two pairs of clonal length; hind tarsi 

 three-fourths as long as the tibia}. Abdomen moderately slender ; tip acute. 

 Coloration : pale, dusted with ochreous. An outer line, very much angulated 

 toward the middle angle of outer margin, with internal and subapical dark 

 patches. 



The Iniig, narrow lore wings, acute apex, and rounded, large, middle 

 angle, antl acutcly-angulated extradiscal line distinguish this genus from 

 Plagodis, to which it is nearest allied; hut it dilfers in the more acute apex 

 of the fore wing, (he more sinuous outer edge, tlie angle being much rounded
