long, bipectinate; the pectinations long in tlie male, very 

 short and connected at the base in the female. Före and 

 mid tibise short and armed at the 

 tip with one long and acute spine; 

 mid and hind tibipe each with 2 long 

 spnrs. Wings broad. Före wing with 

 vein 3 from well before angle of cell, 

 5 from below upper angle, 6 stalked 

 with 7 + 8 + 9, 10 absent, 11 free 

 from near middle of cell; the lower 

 discocellular long, oblique and sharply 

 angled near its upper end; middle 

 discocellular straight and erect. Hind 

 wing with vein 5 much nearer to 

 upper angle of cell, 6 and 7 stalked, 

 8 arched and near base connected with 

 the cell by a bar; the lower disco- 

 cellular long, oblique and sharply 

 angled at its upper end; middle 



discocellular straight and oblique. Frenulum well developed 

 in the male, absent in the female. 



This genus is very nearly allied to Phiala and differs

 wing being absent (in S. alha there is a rudiment of it) 

 and by vein 8 of hind wing not anastomosing with the cell.
