 ochreous-yellowish. Abdomen crimson, last two segments jjurple- 

 blackisli except on sides. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa faintly

CYCLOPLASIS Clem. 



Head smooth, glossy, rounded ; ocelli posterior ; tongue short. 

 Antennae |, in cJ simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. 

 Labial palpi short, filiform, drooping, terminal joint very short, 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae and tarsi with 

 numerous very long fine irregularly placed projecting spines. 

 ForewiiJgs with ueuration much reduced, 1 b very weak, lower 

 margin of cell (median) forming a strong central vein from near 

 base of costa to just above a])ex, wii;h two weak branches below 

 and one above, radius slender, simple, free, /. e. (apparently) 2 and (3 

 weak, 3-5 absent, 7 absent, 8 to costa, 9 out of 8, cell open between 

 9 and II. Hiudwing 4, linear, hase swollen, cilia U; cell open 

 between 2 and 7, 3-0 absent. 



The above description is from a denuded example of habrarcha ; 

 it is certainly congeneric with Clemens' type ; the branches of the 

 median vein are so faint and little developed that specific or indi- 

 vidual variation in them need not be regarded as of any importance.
