Forewing very pale brownish-ochreous, sparsely speckled with minute brown 

 scales ; with three minute black equidistant spots below the cell, and a more promi-

Expanse to inch. 



Genus PELENA. 



Forewing rather broad, elongate, apex acute, exterior margin slightly oblique, 

 posterior margin convex towards the base ; cell more than half the length ; first 

 subcostal at one-sixth before end of the cell, second close to the end, trifid, fifth 

 from the end ; discocellular outwardly oblique, slightly concave at upper end, radials 

 from upper and lower end ; middle median close to end of the cell, lower about one- 

 fourth ; submedian straight : hindwing short, narrow, apex very convex ; cell nearly 

 half the length ; two subcostals from the end, upper joined to the costal for a short 

 distance beyond its end; discocellular concave, outwardly oblique, radial from the 

 lower end ; two upper medians from end of cell, lower about one-third ; a straight 

 submedian and two internal veins. Body stout ; labial palpi slender, curved upward, 

 reaching the vertex, squamous, third joint one-third the length of second ; maxillary 

 palpi distinct, small ; antennas thick, minutely pubescent in front ; legs rather stout,

 before end of the cell, short, anastomosed to the costal close to end ; second and 

 third near end of cell, third bifid, fifth from the end ; discocellular slender, concave, 

 radials fi^om the upper and lower end ; middle and lower median approximate, about 

 one-fourth before end of the cell; submedian straight: hindwing long, rather 

 narrow, apex convex ; cell half the length ; subcostals from end of the cell, upper 

 partly joined to the costal; discocellular bent inward before the middle, radial from
