Palpi stron<:, exceeding head, scarcely ridged in ficnt ; end memlier t>lioi t on 

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

 distinct. Antenr.te somewhat serrate, doubly Iritufted -pubescent basally and 

 medianly, pubescent at end. Proce-s strong, heavy, heavily clothed with rather 

 long scales above and below and thus flattened, the u])pcr scaling reaching down and 

 about the base of the antenna: proper, thus making it to be set in a cup shaped 

 fringing. Vestiture of wings less sciuamniose than usual. Fore wing rather sharp 

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

 hook or sjnir on cacli side. I.eL;s, as usual except the hind tibiaj are stouter than 

 ordinary and the sjuu-s small, the ujiper pair very small. 



Venation the same as Epipaschia. 



Notwithstanding Mr. Meyrick places this as a s\nonym of S/en'cla, 

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

 complete diagnosis of Mr. (jrote, which gave only characteristics which 

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

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

 peculiar in shape and vestiture, the upper spurs on the hind tibia; so 

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