slightly projecting beneath at apex, externally with several 

 Ic ng projecting bristles, terminal joint as long as second or 

 shorter, rather stout, obtuse or hardly pointed. Maxillary 

 palpi absent. Posterior tibiae clothed with long fine hairs. 

 Forewings with lb shortly furcate, 2 from angle, 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hind wings 1, elongate- 

 ovate, cilia 1 ; 2 remote, 3 and 4 parallel, 5 and 6 stalked, 7 

 parallel, cell open between 4 and 5. 



This curious genus is nearly related to Tinea, though differ- 

 ing widely in the nearly smooth head, ascending labial, and ab- 

 sence of maxillary palpi. It agrees with Tinea in neuration, 

 in the characteristic and peculiar bristles of the labial palpi, 

 ]n superficial appearance, and larval habits. The species are 

 few in number, but are found throughout the Indo-Malayan 

 and African regions, and in America : they are very similar 

 in general appearance, and require careful attention to struc- 

 tural details. The larvae feed on various dried substances, 

 such as tobacco.

Sydney, New South Wales ; Melbourne, Victoria : Ade- 

 laide, South Australia : Geraldton, Perth, and York, AVest
