'•' C. amhusta is more nearly allied to this genus than to 

 Cirrcedia, the palpi being very short and horizontal. It should 

 form the type of an allied genus ; the subcostal furca of the 

 secondaries is longer, and its footstalk consequently shorter ; the 

 hind tibial spurs also differ. It may be called Brachycosmia.
