M^f^ouis B. Prout 071 the 
decide. The types of the two genera stand rather widely 
apart in shape, etc., but they seem to be somewhat con¬ 
nected by intergrades. 
Baynia (Prout), nov. gen. 
Face smooth (?); palpus moderate, with rather long projecting 
scales, 3rd joint pointed; tongue developed; antenna (d) rather 
long, tapering at extremity, nearly simple, minutely ciliated. Hind- 
tibia not dilated, all spurs present. Abdomen probably long (broken 
in the unique type specimen). Frenulum present. Forewing with 
margins entire, inner margin with triangular tooth of projecting 
scales in middle ; cell over one-half, discocellulars scarcely oblique, 
from very slightly below centre ; areole double, ample, SC“ 
anastomosing rather strongly with SC^, and afterwards with SC^'^ 
from point of separation of SC®; stalk of SC^'® connate with R' ; 
M* from close to (almost connate). Hindwing {^) with angles 
rounded, distal margin nearly straight between (feebly sinuate) ; cell 
about one-half, extremely broad, discocell ulars somewhat oblique 
inivards ; C anastomosing with SC for about the middle half of 
cell ; SC“ well separate from R^ (as in d® of Rhopalodes, etc.) ; R^ 
from near R^, obliquely placed so as to reach margin nearly midway 
between IR and R'^; R^ long-stalked with IVP, the former running to 
near anal angle, the latter to the angle ; inner-marginal area folded 
and somewhat aborted, a small lobe at its base, fringed with long 
hairs, SM^ apparently absent; under-surface with a fringe of long 
hairs along M and R®, becoming shorter towards termen. 9 
unknown. 
Type of the genus: Baynia odontota, Prout, nov. sp. 
Evidently related to Triptila, Warn, Nov. Zool., i, 898 
( = Phacelophora, Stgn, Hamb. Magalh. Sammeln, ii, Lep. 
98 = Diphacelo 2 }ho')'a, Berg, Com. Mus. Buen., i, 311), 
which also has teeth of projecting scales from inner 
margin. But in the present genus the hindwing is more 
ample, its lobes less developed, and the entire inner- 
marginal structure different. Of characters which are 
usually regarded as generic, the long stalking of with 
is the most noteworthy. Staudinger also emphasises 
the three thoracic dorsal tufts in 23^')'ornata, Mab.—Avhich, 
if not (as I believe) a synonym oi' virescens, Philippi, is at 
least an extremely close ally; in my specimen of Baynia 
odontota the thorax is badly worn, so that I cannot say 
positively that it may not have been tufted.
