Pityocona, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 116(1918). — Type : P. xeropis, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head smooth-scaled; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 5/6, 
in gf simple, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, much 
thickened throughout with scales, rough posteriorly, especially on terminal joint, second joint thickest 
towards apex, terminal as long as second, thickest in middle, pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, 
appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 
2 from 3/4, 3 from before angle, 4 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings 
under r, narrowly elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen sinuate-emarginate, cilia 4;
