Ptychopseustis, n. g. 

 Forehead flat, oblique ; ocelli present ; tongue developed. An- 

 tennae three-fom-ths, in ^ — ?. Labial palpi long, straight, por- 

 rected, rough-scaled, attenuated to apex. Maxillary palpi mode- 

 rate, triangularly dilated with scales. Fore wings with veins 

 4 and 5 approximated at base, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 approximated to 

 9 at base. Hind wings 1 ; veins 4 and 5 from a point, 6 and 7

According to Snellen the antennge of the <? are "very 

 thick"; in his figure the artist appears to have made 

 them pectinated. The species can certainly not be 

 included in Diptycliophora, in which he placed it.
