terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. 
Posterior tibiae with appressed scales. Forewings with 2-4 parallel, curved, 5 and 6 straight, 7 absent. 
Hindwings over r, trapezoidal, apex produced, termen emarginate; 3 and 4 connate, 5 remote, 6 from 
near angle, 7 from angle, to apex. 
Remarks. — Of dubious affinity, but on general characters would.be referable here. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Asia Minor.

. Zelosyne, Walsingham, Biol. Centr.-Amer. Lep. Het. Vol. 4, p. 5o (1911). — Type : Z. foecilosoma, 
Walsingham. 
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli very small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in 
cf shortly ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 
beneath with rough projecting scales whorled so as to form a series of acute teeth, terminal joint as long 
as second or somewhat longer, thickened with scales, pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, 
appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 1) furcate, 2 from 4/5, 
3 from near angle, 6 to apex, 7 and 8 stalked or coincident, 11 from before middle. Hindwings under r, 
trapezoidal, termen not sinuate, cilia over r; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate or closely 
approximated, 5 soinewhat approximated, 6 and 7 separate, nearly parallel. 
Remarks. — A remarkable genus of abnormal structure and facies; it may not belong here, but 
goes no better anywhere else. The two species differ in neuration, though extremely similar in superficial 
appearance; but Walsingham's description and diagram are incorrect in several particulars. The typical 
species possesses a beautiful coloured hyaline eye-like spot in the hindwings. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Central and South America. 
Larva unknown.
