 DOLEROSCELES, n g. 

 Face with short cone of scales. Antennae in ^ ciliated. Palp 

 moderate, porrected, rough-scaled. Posterior tibia; in both sexes 

 without median spurs. Fore wings with areole simple, 11 some- 

 times running into 12. Hind wings with veins 6 and 7 stalked. 



This genus, closely allied both to Pasipldla and 

 Eupithecia, is at once separated from both by the 

 absence of the median spurs of posterior tibiae. Besides 

 the two following species I have certainly a third, but 

 not in condition to be described.
