Anterior wings densely pubescent, long, elliptical at 

 the apex; sub-costa joining the costa at about a third of 

 the length from the apex, an oblique transverse veinlet 

 uniting it to the costa before the middle ; radius consi- 

 derably longer than the costa, united to the sub-costa 

 by a short transverse veinlet ; discoidal cell long and 

 narrow, closed ; cellula thjrridii internally one-third 

 longer than the discoidal and narrower, also closed; a 

 transverse veinlet uniting it to the discoidal, placed rather 

 within the two, closing the above-named cells; two 

 transverse veinlets towards the base, one placed between 

 the ramus thyrifer and ramus clavalis, and the other, 

 nearer the base, between the latter vein and the cubitus ; 

 apical forks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, all present : 1 and 2 long 

 and narrow, reaching the discoidal cell ; 3 and 4 short and 

 broader, 4 being longer than 3 ; 5 very long, reaching 

 nearly halfway to the base of the wing : fringes short. 



Posterior wings slightly broader and one-fifth shorter 

 than the anterior, folded, the fringes slightly longer ; 

 less densely pubescent and sub-hyaline ; the sub-costa 

 and radius nearly as in the anterior, united towards the 

 apex by a transverse veinlet ; discoidal cell nearly as in 

 the anterior (a transverse veinlet uniting it to the radius 

 is somewhat doubtful) ; a short transverse veinlet below 

 it, and two others towards the base; forks 1, 2, 3 and 5 

 present ; 1 not reaching the discoidal cell ; 2 reaching 

 that cell, broader ; 3 short and triangular ; 5 very long 

 and broad. 



Legs slender, the posterior pair very long ; the inter- 

 mediate tibiee and tarsi not dilated in the 9 , Spurs 

 2, 4, 4, pairs nearly equal, those on the intermediate 

 and posterior tibiae very long. 



Abdomen short and moderately stout; in the ^ the 

 app. sup. are moderately long ; app. inf. very long, two- 

 jointed and obtuse: in the ? the apex of the abdomen 

 is truncate, with a short ovipositor. 



The insect on which I have founded this genus has a 

 most deceptive resemblance to a species of Wormaldia, 

 and in the form of its maxillary palpi, densely hairy 

 wings, sombre colour, and general form, it agrees almost 

 entirely with that genus ; but the neuration of the an- 

 terior wings is difl'erent, possessing as it does fork 4, 

 which is wanting in Wormaldia, and thus, in this respect, 

 it approaches Philopofannis. Its natural position is be- 

 tween these two genera.
