 apox obtuse, termen rounded, rather strongly oblique ; dark grey 

 irroratod white, darkest towards median area of costa ; a small 

 cloudy dark spot near base in middle ; stigmata dark fuscous, first

 sliort. Antennae in cS strongly fasciculate-ciliated, basal joint 

 moderate, with pecten. (Labial palpi broken.) Maxillary palpi 

 rudimentarj'. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings

II from middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia | ; 4 absent, 

 5-7 parallel. 



Allied to Ocystola group ; distinguished by neuration, except from 

 Plochosaris, from which it differs by anteniiic and form of hindwings, 

 doubtless also by labial palpi, which may be assumed to be smooth- 

 scaled as in allied genera.
