Imago. Antenna3 of the male about three-quarters as 
long as the wings, in the female about half as long, fili- 
form ; the joints loosely articulated, with adpressed hair, 
the basal joint rather the largest ; in repose divergent and 
ascending. Head and prothorax Avith long, coarse, shaggy 
hair ; ocelli present ; maxillary palpi five-jointed, filiform, 
with sparse spreading pubescence ; the first two joints very 
short, subequal, the next two subequal and of moderate 
length, the fifth joint rather the longest. Labial palpi with 
the apical joint a little longer than the first two joints, and 
hardly at all broader than thick. Anterior wings sub- 
trapezoid or narrowly oblong, with a small appendage to 
the inner edge near the base, the apex rather obtuse, the 
disk scabrous, long fringes, and the discoidal cell open ; 
the anterior branch of the ramus discoidalis forked near 
its origin, with simple prongs, the posterior branch forked 
near its middle, Avith simple jn-ongs; the superior branch 
of the ramus thyrifer forked, Avith the anterior prong 
forked, the posterior prong simple ; thus there are tAvo 
forks before the apex and one behind. Posterior Avings 
ovato-lanceolate acute, the costa entire, hair adpressed, 
fringes very long, no transverse A'einlet ; the ramus dis- 
coidalis forked, Avitli the anterior prong simple, the ])os- 
terior prong forked; the ramus subdiscoidalis forked, 
Avith the anterior ])rong forked, the posterior prong simple; 
thus there is a fork on either side of the apex. Legs of 
moderate length, the posterior tibia Avitli sjiarsc short hair, 
not fringed ; anterior tibia spurlcss, the intermediate Avith 
three sjiurs, the posterior Avith four. Abdomen Avith stout
