cj. First segment of palpus ratlier more obvionsl}' incrassate at end than in 

 rtrchntiae, snbangnlate. Antenna much shorter and also slenderer. D" of hind- 

 wing very oblique, three times as long as D*, lower angle of cell more acuminate 

 than in the previous species. 



(?. Tenth tergite not compressed, ra(her slightly convex above, hollow beneath, 

 narrowed in middle, being slightly dilated from middle to apex, which is feebly 

 sinuate ; sternite short, triangular, acuminate. Clasper of almost even width from 

 before middle to apex, ventral margin slightly convex, apex rounded ; harpe rather 

 large (PI. IL. f. 11), of about the same shape as in ardeniae, but much broader, 

 the process situated below the ventral edge of the clasper. Penis-sheath (PI. LV. 

 f 13) ending in a prominent forked process, which projects distad.

S ?. Differs from Nephclf essentially in the slenderer antenna, the end-segraent 

 'if which is not ])rodnced into a fililorni jirocess, being elongate-triangular, com- 

 pressed ; the non-s]]inose spurs; and in the somewhat undulated distal margin 

 of the forewing. 



<?. Tenth tergite as in AV/V/r/c, jiointed ; sternite not mu<'h shorter than 

 tergite, minutely sinuate, resembling the sternite of Ar(i.^iiit'r;/.c Clasper with a 

 patch of large friction-scales, arranged in several ill-defined rows ; harpe of the 

 type found in Acomneryx, being dilated at end and armed with spine-like teeth 

 (PI. IL. f 21). Penis-sheath (PI. LV. f ;!4) with an indication of an aj.ical 

 Iirnc<'B8 ; penis-funnel with broad, truncate, apically dilated, ventral lobe, wiiich is 

 clotlied at end witi] very short liairs.
