Genus Axiologa, nov. 



[d^toAoyos, worthy of remark.] 



Paljii moderate, hairy, porrect. Antennae well pectinated in 9 • 

 Thorax and abdomen not crested ; base of abdomen densely hairy 

 above. Posterior tibioe with two pairs of spurs. Fore-wings with 10 

 connected with 8 + 9 opposite 7 to form an areole ; 11 anastomosing 

 shortly with 12. Hind- wings with 5 approximated at base to 4, 6 

 and 7 short-stalked, 8 anastomosing with cell before middle. 



Founded on the anastomosis of veins 11 and 12 of fore- 

 wings. As I have been able to examine only one specimen 

 the constancy of this point requires confirmation.

 Hind-wings with 3, 4, and 5 arising separately from close to angle of 

 cell, 6 and 7 short-stalked or connate, 8 connected with cell before 

 middle. Female with wings aborted. 



In four male examples two have a small areole in both
