Palpi strong', exceeding head, scarcely ridged in front ; end member short on 

 end of 2nd. Maxillary paljii strong, end lobes equal, somewhat pencil haired. Ocelli 

 distinct. Antenuaj somewhat serrate, doubly tritufted -pubescent basally and 

 medianly, pubescent at end. Process strong, heavy, heavily clothed with rather 

 long scales above and below and thus flattened, the upper scaling reaching down and 

 about the base of the antenna^ proper, thus making it to l)e set in a cup shaped 

 fringing. Vestiture of wmgs less squammose than usual. Fore wing rather sharp 

 at apex. Genitalia of r^ having besides the normal armature, a strong inner curved 

 hook or spur on each side. Legs, as usual except the hind tibicX- are stouter than 

 ordinary and the spurs small, the upper pair very small. 



Venation the same as Epipaschia. 



Notwithstanding Mr. Meyrick places this as a synonym of S/ericla, 

 Led., I retain it as a good genus. Mr. Meyrick having onh- the in- 

 complete diagnosis of INIr. Grote, which gave only characteristics which 

 are found in S/en'c/a, could not do other otherwise than as he did. The 

 genus is not a strongly marked one ; but the antennal process is so 

 peculiar in shape and vestiture, the upper spurs on the hind tibix> so 

 nearly wanting, and the male genitalia so difterent that I still retain it.
