Type. Eulepiste cressoni, Wlsm. 

 " Head rough ; maxillary palpi none,* tongue none, ocelli none. 

 Labial palpi ascending, with the second joint roughly clothed with 

 coarse scales, projecting beneath ; terminal joint coarsely scaled, 

 tapering to a blunt point ; about equal in length to the second 

 joint. Antennae (with the basal joint thickened and coarsely 

 scaled) slightly serrated and pilose beneath. Anal appendages of 

 the male greatly developed; the side claspers elongate-ovate, 

 projecting well beyond the triangular-pointed upper shield, which 

 is clothed with long scales ; the anal segment with short diverging 

 bristles beneath. Fore wings : costa arched, apex rounded, apical 

 margin oblique, slightly convex; dorsal margin nearly parallel 

 with the costal, but slightly emarginate before the anal angle ; 

 apical vein forked. Hind wings ovate, rather wider than the fore 

 wings, widest on the basal half, tapering outwards towards the 

 rounded apex, and not emarginate below it. Veins of the fore 

 wings twelve, not including the false vein after vein 1 on the dorsal 

 margin ; two of these from the same stem ; cell closed. The vein 

 running from the upper corner of the cell in the fore wings is 

 forked, one branch ending on the costal margin and one in the 

 apex."

"Palpi brown, with ochreous scales intermixed, the apical joint 

 with an indistinct pale ochreous band around its middle. Antennae 

 pale brown. Fore wings brown with scattered purplish fuscous 

 and ochreous scales, the former collected in raised tufts, especially 

 about the dorsal margin ; the latter aggregated in the form of

 which were overlooked when the original description was made.
