long, subascending, second joint loosely scaled, terminal joint 

 moderately long. Maxillary palpi rather short, dilated with scales 

 towards apex. Abdomen in $ with moderate anal tuft. Posterior 

 tibiae with outer spurs one-half inner. Fore wings with veins 

 4 and 5 from a point, 6 sometimes out of 9, 7 and 8 out of 9, 10 and

 and 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing 

 with 8 to two-fifths. 



A development of the preceding, containing only one 

 species from Western Asia and the Mediterranean.
