LIME^aTIS p. Boisd. Ind. Meth. 



Body moderate ; abdomen rather short ; wings long, trigonate. 



Head rather small, with a small tuft of hair at the base of each antenna, and a small, conical, frontal tuft. 



Eyes but slightly prominent, naked. 



Labial Palpi rather short, thick, directed obliquely upwards, reaching rather above the middle of the eyes ; the 

 tips convergent, thickly clothed with short hairs, especially upon the under side of the basal joint, and the 

 upper side of the terminal half of the second joint; the third joint short, oval, obtuse at the tip. 



Antennce scarcely half the length of the costal margin of the fore wings, straight ; terminated by a very slender, 

 gradually formed club, which is nearly one third of the length of the whole antenna, rather obliquely truncate 

 at the tip, with a very shallow double groove on the under side. Spiral tongue long and strong. 

 Thorax oval, hairy ; tippets and sides of the metathorax more hirsute. 



Fore Wings elongate-trigonate. Fore margin very little arched ; apical angle rounded. Apical margin rather 

 more than two thirds of the length of the anterior, emarginate, and very slightly scalloped. Lmer margin a 

 very little longer than the apical one, nearly straight. Costal vein strong, extending to three fifths of the 

 length of the costa. Subcostal vein with the first and second branches arising close together before the 

 extremity of the discoidal cell ; third branch arising just beyond the place of junction of the costal vein with 

 the costa, and extending to the tip of the wing ; fourth branch arising at about four fifths of the length of the 

 wing, reaching the apical margin a little below the apex. The terminal portion of the subcostal vein very 

 slightly deflexed. Upper disco-cellular arising at four ninths of the length of the wing, extremely sliort ; 

 middle disco-cellular vein short, curved outwards ; lower disco-cellular slender, nearly straight, uniting with 

 the third branch of the median vein just beyond its origin, closing the discoidal cell, which is rather narrow, 

 and reaches nearly to half the length of the wing. Median vein strong ; its branches wide apart ; the third 

 gradually arched. 



Hind Wings subtriangular. The costal margin not much curved. The outer margin of the same length as the 

 costal, somewhat truncate from the extremity of the subcostal vein to that of the first branch of the median, 

 scalloped. The precostal vein well defined and curved outwardly. Costal vein arched, extending to the outer 

 angle of the wing. Subcostal vein arising just before the precostal ; its branches arising at the same distance
