S. Tongue about half the length of the body. Pilifer with bristles and a very 

 few scales ; genal process triangular, nearly reaching end of pilifer. Palpus slender, 

 visible from above, first segment with rough hairs. Antenna as long as cell of 

 forewing, not strongly compressed, not higher than broad, distinctly incrassate 

 distally, hook short, fasciculated ciliae of basal row of segments very short mesially, 

 distal rows reaching about half way down to tiie mesial line. Scaling between 

 antennae prolonged to a crest. Tibiae not spiuose, longer tlian the re-ipective first 

 tarsal segment ; first segment of foretarsus about twice as long as broad, armed 

 with three stout sjiines, the apical one nearly as long as the segment, curved, second 

 and third segments about equal in length, apical spines also prominent ; midtarsus
