(?. Head with uu'sial crest. Toiij^'ue reduced to two weak lobes wliioli are 

 shorter than the first segment of the [lalpns. Joint of palpns open ; third segment 

 rather prominent. Antcnnal segments of 3 deej)!}' grooved, sul)j)eetinate, the 

 upper edge of each groove being produced laterad into a short broad lobe (PI. LXI. 

 f. 1. 2): tlie long ciliae fasciculated, the fascicles not numerous, placed upon 

 tubercles, an isolated .subdorsal fascicle between middle of segment and a])ical edge ; 

 the distal segments separated ventrally, the penultimate one mnch higher than 

 long, its proximal edge oblique, with the angle rounded (side-view) ; end-segment 

 with a submesial median spine (ventrally often broken off). Spnrs of foretibia 

 almost reaching end of tibia ; spnrs of mid- and hindtibiae not spinose, longer 

 terminal one of hindtibia about one-third the length of the first tarsal segment ; 

 hiudtibia as long as tarsal segments 1 and 2 together. Abdominal tergites spinose 

 only at the edges, underscales large. Apex of forewing not produced, distal margin 

 convex, hinder angle very obtnse, hinder margin almost straight ; anal angle of 

 liindwing not distinctly prodnced, D- curved, not essentially longer than D^. Clasper 

 without friction-iiatch. 



Tenth tergite short and broad, slightly curved downward, narrowed to the 

 apex, but not pointed, mesially sinuate ; sternite evenly and broadly sinuate, the 

 lobes broader than long, halfmoon-shaped. Clasper longer than broad, rounded at 

 apex, dorsal edge nearly straight, horizontal, ventral edge rounded in basal third, 

 then straight, obliquely ascending; no harpe, but there is a dorso-basal process 

 which is homologous and similar to that of Clania bilineata, rough with tubercles 

 at the end. Penis-sheath without armature, a feeble carina at the end.
