Type scolopncinarms Guen. 



Palpi rather long, heavy, porrect, loose scaled ; tongue weak, 

 rather short ; front scaled, slightly tufted ; antennse bipectinate in 

 % ; thorax and abdomen stout, smooth ; legs smooth, short, swollen, 

 without hair pencil in % ; with two pairs of spurs in both sexes ; 

 fore wings narrow, extended, even, with discal tuft of raised scales, 

 without basal fovea in S , but with vein lb strongly curved up ba- 

 sally, 11 veins, perhaps sometimes 12 ; when 11 are present 10 want- 

 ing, 11 from cell; hind wings 6 and 7 near together; outer margin 

 rounded or sinuate, 5 undeveloped, 8 separate from cell. 



Under Lepiodes Guenee described two species : infectaria, from 

 S. Africa, and scolopaciuaria. The two species are not congeneric ; 

 infectaria being more emphasized by being described first, and also 

 figured, is rightly the type of Guenee's genus. I therefore apply 

 Mr. Morrison's generic name to our species.
