their length. The maxillary palpi are small and not hidden 

 in the labial palpi; on the other hand, the antennae of 

 the male have a sinus at near base with a tuft of scales 

 and the shaft is pectinate with uniserate branches of 

 about three times the shaft; the frons has a tuft of scales. 

 In the female the antennae are simple, slightly laminate 

 and ciliate. 



EPIPASCHIANAE. 



Neopaschia, gen. nov. 



Type flavociliata, sp. n. 

 Female. Paljii upturned, slender, reaching above vertex; first 

 joint about half of second, third a little shorter, palpi smoothly 

 scaled ; maxillary palpi invisible ; tongue absent ; antennae shortly 

 ciliated and without a tuft at base. Fore-wing rather narrow, 

 costa and apex rounded, termen straight and oblique; a tuft of 

 raised scales at end of cell; 16 simple at base; cell rather long, 

 f of wing; 2 from before angle; 3, 4 from angle, stalked for J of 

 3; 5 absent; disco- cellulars faint ; 6 from well before upper angle ; 

 7, 8 from upper angle, stalked for J of 8; 9 absent; 10 from just 

 before angle; 11 from f of upper median; 12 parallel to upper 

 median and vein 11. Hind- wing semicircular ; termen with rounded 

 lobe at 2-3 ; apex and tornus well rounded ; cell over half of wing ; 

 2 from near lower angle ; 3 and 4 from angle, stalked for J of 3 ; 

 5 absent; 6 and 7 from upper angle; 7 and 8 anastomosing for 

 about ^ of 7 and well beyond origin of 7 ; frenulum simple. 



This is the most reduced Epipaschianid known to me, 

 and must be placed immediately before Arnafula, from 

 which it differs mainly in the absence of vein 5 in both 

 wings and of 9 in the fore-wing. Unfortunately no males 

 are known to me.
