428 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



uncus long, slender, curved, with a straight slender process from 

 base beneath not reaching apex ; claspers indicated by a slender 

 spine. Posterior tibia3 with outer spurs half inner ; anterior tarsi 

 sometimes dilated with rough hairs. Fore wings with veins 8 and 

 9 stalked, 11 short. Hind wings with vein 7 absent (coincident 

 with 8), 8 anastomosing shortly with 6 beyond cell. 



Nearly allied to Catacli/sta, which it resembles iu 

 appearance, but well distiuguished by the presence of 

 ocelli, the separation of vein 10 of the fore wings from 

 8, and the rough-haired 2nd joint of palpi.
