Type, 3 $ Pilaaaphora hedemanni, Wlsm. 



Antennce : 3 somewhat flattened, serrate towards the apex. 



Labial palpi : 3 very strongly recurved, reaching to the back of 

 the thorax, brush-like throughout ; $ porrect, fully twice the 

 length of the head beyond it. 



Fore xvings : 3 scarcely more than twice as long as broad, with

 lying flat on the wing) : $ without the costal fringe. Netiration : 

 12 veins all separate, 8 to apex. 



Hind wings : 3 with a strong upstanding fringe extending from

 fold, scarcely interrupted by a dark spot near its base, but incised 

 at its upper edge by the triangular spot before mentioned; at 

 the end of the cell a small reduplicated dot of white raised scales

 streak with a pair of purplish-fuscous spots nearer to the termen ; 

 cilia conforming to the wing-colour, somewhat speckled : 2
