 as I observed from an examination of Walker's type in the British Museum.

Head much smaller, shorter than in Tetniris and Eugonia, with the 

 front nearly square, narrowing .slightly anteriorly. Palpi short, small, not 

 extending beyond the front of the head. Male antennfc well pectinated. 

 Fore wings with the costa nearly straight, sinuous, falcate, the apex acute, 

 prolonged, with more of an excavation beneath than in Tetrads or Eugonia, 

 the angle in the middle of the edge being well pronou;iced. Hind wings 

 with a large, prominent "tail" or angle, rather more pronounced than in 

 Tetrads, with usually ,a slight tooth between the apex and the angle. 

 Venation : two subcostal cells, the inner lozenge-shaped, the outer long and 

 narrow ; the anterior discal venule straight, the posterior oblique, slightly 

 bent; otherwise the venation is as in Tetrads and Eugonia. Hind leys 

 with the tibife slightly enlarged ; tarsi nearly as long as the tibiie. Coloi-a- 

 tion : lilac-gray or pale ochreous, with two nearly parallel lines on the fore 

 wings and a single line on the posterior pair; sometimes a large reddish- 

 brown discal spot on the fore wings. 



The species may be separated from those of Eugonia and Tetrads by 

 the small, short head and small palpi, scarcely extending beyond the front.
