Proboscis aborted. Palpi short, porrect, hairy, not reach- 

 ing beyond the fröns. Antennee of normal lengtli, bipecti- 

 nate; the pectinations long and slender in the male, very 

 short in the female. Före tibise short, armed at apex with 

 one long and acute, straight spine; mid tibise also very 

 short and armed at tip with one long and acute spine; hind 

 tibise with 2 spurs only. Wings moderately broad, rather 

 densely scaled. Före wing with vein 3 from well before 

 angle of cell, 5 from near upper angle, 6 stalked with 7 + 8 

 + 9 + 10, 11 free from cell well before upper angle; lower 

 discocellular long and very oblique, sharply angled nearer 

 its upper end; middle discocellular very short and erect. 

 Hind wing with vein 5 much nearer upper angle of cell, 6 

 and 7 stalked, 8 free and arched at base but anastomosing 

 shortly with the cell before its middle; lower discocellular 



* The description of the genus Rhabdosia Hubn. råns as follows: 

 »Both wings nearly transparent, coloured at the veins and shaded at the 

 outer margin». This description agrees only with tharops Stoll but alto- 

 gether not with vaninia Stoll. Tharops, therefore, must be taken as the 

 type of Rhabdosia.
