240 Mr. E. Meyrick's descriptions of 



Of somewhat doubtful aftinit,y, and perhaps not really 

 near Diaseniiit, which, however, it resembles superficially; 

 differs from Botys principally by the antennae reaching 

 four-fifths of fore wings. In the specimens examined 

 the posterior legs were broken.
