Head rather broad, scaly, the forehead with a more or less distinct tuft of hairs. 



Eyes oval, prominent. 



MaxillcB rather longer than the thorax. 



Labial Palpi slightly divergent, porrect, scarcely ascending, projecting considerably beyond the 

 forehead, clothed with appressed scales and scattered erect hairs; the second joint with a dorsal 

 tuft of hairs near the apex. First joint short, much curved ; second more than three times the 

 length of the first, nearly cylindric, slightly smaller at the apex, which is rounded ; third joint 

 shorter than the first, oval, slightly pointed at the apex. 



Antenna; about two thirds the length of the body, rather stout, terminating in a short obtuse club ; 

 the joints composing the club more distinct than those of the other part of the antennae. 

 Thorax oval, moderately stout ; the prothorax very distinct. 



Anterior Wings elongate ; the apex rounded, or subtruncate ; the anterior margin slightly curved, 

 about one half longer than the outer margin ; inner margin slightly sinuate, equal in length to 

 the outer. Costal nervure about equally distant from the subcostal nervure and from the 

 anterior margin as far as the end of the cell, fully two thirds the length of the wing. Subcostal 

 nervure five-branched, its nervules thrown off at about equal intervals ; the first close to, or 

 before the end of, the cell. Cell rather narrow, elongate, extending considerably beyond the 

 middle of the wing. Upper diseo-cellular nervule almost wanting. Middle disco- cellular 

 curved, directed obliquely inwards. Lower disco-cellular also curved, directed obliquely 

 outwards to the third median nervule, joining it at some distance beyond its origin, at a point 

 where it forms a considerable curve. Internal nervure wanting. 



Posterior Wings subtriangular ; the anterior and outer margins much rounded, nearly of equal 

 length ; the inner margin about three fourths the length of the others, scarcely embracing the 

 abdomen except at its base. Precostal nervule simple, curved, directed inwards. Costal 

 nervure rather widely distant from both the costa and the subcostal nervure, terminating at the 

 apex of the wing. Subcostal nervure dividing at about two thirds the length of the cell. Cell 

 small. Discoidal nervure appearing to be a third subcostal nervule. Lower disco-cellular short,
