$ ? . Genal process very obtuse, shorter than pilifer ; a tuft of scales below 

 pilifer as in the allied genera. Palpus not projecting, with rough hair-scales at 

 sides ; patch of sensory hairs on innerside at the base vestigial. Head sunken, witli 

 mesial crest. Eye small, lashed. Antenna setiform in cJ, slightly iucrassate beyond 

 middle in ? ; end-segment short. Sjiines of abdomen weak, numerous. Mernm of 

 midcoxa not angnlate ; foretibia ending in a thorn ; midtarsus irithoiit comb ; spurs 

 of midtiliia nearly erpial in length. Distal margins of wings uneven or denticulate ; 

 hinder angle of cell of hindwing more or less acuminate. 



(J. ('lasper without friction-scales. Tenth sternite somewhat longer than the 



tergite.

smooth. 



Early stages not known.

Easily recognised by the claw of the foretibia and the short cnd-segnient of the

S ?. Some sjiecimens are far more grey on body and forewing, and have more 

 consjiicuons markings than others. The two forms intergraduate, however, as the 

 series now in the Tring Mnsenm shows, and are the same in structure ; pHlchrm- 

 miim sinks, therefore, as a synonym.
