Elasiprora, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 230 (1914). — Type : E. vostrifera, Meyrick. 
Gharacters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in c serrulate, 
minutely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 
joint somewhat thickened, slightly roughened beneath towards apex, terminal joint as long as second, 
moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with

Hindwings under 1,narrow-trapezoidal, apex somewhat produced, pointed, termen somewhat emarginate, 
oblique, cilia 2; cell rather wide, transverse vein absent, 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly approximated to 4 at 
base, 6 and 7 stalked, 6 to apex.
