approximated, 7 and 8 stalked or coincident, 7 to costa, r1 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, 
termen slightly bisinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated at base, 6 and 7 long-stalked. 
Remarks. — Allied to CAelaría. 'The two species, though differing in neuration, are otherwise 
hardly distinguishable. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American.

201. GENUS APOTACTIS, MEYRICK 
Apotactis, Meyrick, Ann. Transv. Mus. Vol. 6, p. 52 (1918). — Type : A. drimylota, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae 3/4, in gf serrulate, simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, 
recurved, second joint with strong dense projecting apical tuft beneath, terminal joint longer than 
second, somewhat thickened and roughened anteriorly, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, 
appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with very long fine hairs above. Forewings with 1? furcate, 
2-5 rather approximated, 6 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, elongate- 
trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen scarcely sinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 
6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — Apparently an early form of this group.

Pilocrates, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 299 (1920). — Type : P. ?rograpía, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales ; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4 (?), 
basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint thickened with 
scales, with dense compact projecting apical tuft beneath, terminal joint longer than second, moderate, 
acute. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 2 from 
towards angle, 3 and 4 connate from angle, 5 approximated, 6 and 8 stalked, 7 absent, 11 from middle. 
Hindwings r, trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen somewhat sinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 5 closely approximated 
at base, 4 absent, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — Somewhat allied to the preceding.
