?. I'iilcr i\\an fiilyiirav.s, i\w lines in tlie basal halt' of tiie foruwing above 

 barely vestigial, first discal line very obliiine, almost evenly curved from costal to 

 internal margin ; middle line of liindwing more proximal. Antenna grooved, with 

 prolonged ciliae. SC- and U' of hindwing on a rather long stalk, D^ longer than 

 D'. The type of cyti>i is more jiinkish than that of numosae, the fore wing is 

 narrower, the blackish brown anal mark of the hindwing is much narrower, the 

 first line of the hindwing is a little more distal, standing beyond the cell below, 

 while it crosses the ajiex of the cell in numosae, and the double row of postdiscal 

 dots oi tmmome is replaced by a single faint line. Vaginal plate partly visible in 

 both tyj)e-specimeus ; ridge in front of orifice sliglitly sinuate, without processes, 

 postvaginal i)art of plate mesially impressed longitudinally, broadly triangular.

c? ? . Tongue short aud weak. Joint of palpus open. Antenna strongly 

 ciliated in both sexes, distinctly grooved in ? , the segments ventrally more or less 

 sinuate in side-view in S . Spurs spinose, longer terminal one of hindtibia at least 

 half the length of the first tarsal segment, and twice as long as the shorter spur. 

 Abdominal tergites spinose, rather densely so on the back. Distal margin of 

 forewing very slightly dentate, convex in ?, almost straight in c?, apex slightly 

 produced, inner margin feebly emarginate distally, the angle distinct, more than 

 90" ; 1)- of hindwing curved, not twice as long as D', lower angle of cell acute. 

 Clasper and eighth tergite with organ of friction. 



Similar to numosae and/ulyurans, antennae more deeply grooved in both sexes, 

 longer in S , ventral line uneven (in side-view), hindwing shorter costally, forewing 

 with a single basal dot, first antemedian line evenly curved from costal to inner 

 margins, postdiscal line somewhat convex between R- aud M-, more so in ? than 

 in S, entire ; anal patch of hindwing larger, closer to the margin. Midtibia with 

 an indistinct i)alc basal spot, hindtibia pale above, but not white. Sexual armature 

 (piite different from tliat oi fulffurans. 



S. Tenth tergite (PI. XXV. f 16) very slender, narrowed to a point, curved 

 downwards, forming a short hook ; the sternite longer than broad, subtriangular, 

 with the sides gently rounded and the apex incised. Clasper reduced iu size, with
