Body very stout and thick, the thorax hairy, and the abdomen rather 

 short. Head l>road, squarish in i'ront. Palpi broad and stout, ascending a 

 little, extending well in front ; third joint long and slender. Mo,le antennte 

 heavily pectinated to the end ; simple in the female. Wings short and broad ; 

 anterior pair not subtalcate; costa more convex than in Endropia; apex 

 pointed, subrectangular ; outer edge tull, convex, with a slight bend in the 

 middle, scarcely more distinct in the female than in the male. Hind wings 

 full, with a slight bend in the middle, extending slightly l)ey(nid the end of 

 the abdomen. Venation : nnicli as in the lower species of Endrojtia (E. hypo- 

 cliraria), the costal vein free; the first and second subcostal venules very 

 long, ('(jual in length; the fifth subcostal arises nearer the origin of the sixth 

 than ill Endropia. Di.scal venules much as in Endropia. Hind legs with the 

 tibiae not swollen; the tarsi rather long and thick, much as in Endropia. 

 Coloiation : de(!p reddish-brown ; hind wings and under surface of both wings 

 bathed with bright ochreous. 



The single species 'of this genus is quite unlike Numeria, and is closely 

 allied in all its structural features with the lower, simpler species o^ Endropia, 

 from which it (litr<!rs in the slight characters indicated above, chiefly in the 

 more convex costa, the more acute palpi, and the shorter wings, as well as 

 the quite diflTerent style of coloration.
