pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with 
small tufts of scales; 1b furcate, 2 nearly from angle, 7 and stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle.

Batenia, Chrétien, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. p. 57 (1908). — Type : B. fasciella, Chrétien. 
Chahacters. — Head smooth, crown loosely scaled; oce!li posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae 3/4, basal joint somewhat enlarged, without pecten. Labial palpi moderately long, slightly 
curved, slender, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint shorter than second, pointed.
