 Tongue of moderate length, clothed with scales. Labial pal]:)i with the 

 second joint beneath formed like a brush, with the bail's produced iu 

 front; the terminal joint smooth, pointed, recurved. Wings elongate, 

 icith rather long cilia ; the cilia of the anterior v:infjs round the produced 

 apex are adorned tcith markings; posterior wings trapezoidal, very 

 slightly retuse before the apex. In the anterior wings the furcate api- 

 cal vein runs into the costa before the apex, the secondary cell is not 

 indicated, the first branch of the hiedian vein is at a consideraltle distance 

 from the second; the subdorsal vein is furcate; the submedian is not 

 thickened. In the posterior wings the costal cell is of the ordinary 

 form ; the subcostal vein h furcate from, near the base ; the median vein 

 is trifid. 



\Tc ]iav(! only two species in this genus, which may readily be 

 distinguished as follows : — 



n. With no streaks from the costa before the a]iex. Species 1. 

 a a. With several streaks from the costa before the a])cx. ypecics 2. 



(There are several other continental species in the latter section.) 

 Very little is known of the habits of the perfect insects, and none 

 of the larvae are known.
