Head smooth, sidetufts appressed ; ocelli present; tongue deve- 

 loped. Antennae |, in J strongly ciliated (4), in 5 also evenly 

 ciliated (1), basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi 

 long, recurved, smooth, second joint slightly thickened, reaching 

 base of anteniur, terminal joint shorter than second, slender, acute. 

 ]V[axillary palpi very short, tiliform, drooping. ^Middle tibiie with 

 median and apical whorls of long bristly hairs, posterior tibiie 

 rough-scaled above, with whorls on origin of s])urs. Forewings 

 with lb furcate, cell little longer than half wing, 2 from near 

 angle, 3 and 4 connate fron) angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 11. 

 from somewhat before middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, 

 cilia I ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 and 6 slightly approximated towards 

 base, 7 parallel. 



Probably a development of Euleehria. The ciliated antennae of 

 2 are a (piite exceptional character, which I do not remember to 

 have noticed in any other genus of this family. The maxillary 

 palpi are minute but distinct, not appressed to the base of tongue 

 as usual.
