South American Micro- Lepidoptera. 209 



palpi long, recurved, second joint considerably thickened with 

 scales, with dense rough projecting brush or short tuft of scales 

 beneath, terminal joint somewhat shorter than second, thickened 

 with scales, posteriorly prominent towards apex, pointed. Maxillary 

 palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Anterior tarsi 

 somewhat thickened with scales; posterior tibiae with long fine 

 hairs above, and rough-scaled beneath. Forewings with tufts of 

 raised scales ; 2 from |, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 

 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-trapezoidal, 

 cilia I ; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 somewhat approximated at base, 6 and 7 

 parallel, cell and area immediately beyond and beneath it hyaline, 

 with veins fringed with long projecting scales. 



By the kindness of Mr. A. Busck I have received a fine 

 example of the type of this genus, Clevelandi, Busck, and 

 am therefore enabled to give the full characters of the 

 genus, which is in fact very distinct from Borkhausenia ; 

 the structure of palpi, scale-tufts of forewings, form and 

 neuration of hindwings all indicate a nearer relationship 

 to the New Zealand Izatha.
