Metopleura, Busck, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. Vol. 14, p. 83 (1912). — Type : M. fotosi, Busck. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli very small, inferior; tongue developed.

slightly curved, ascending, second joint very long, much thickened with dense appressed scales roughly 
expanded towards apex above, terminal joint half second, thickened with dense slightly roughened

scaled above. Forewings with slight tufts of scales; 1» furcate, 2 from 3/4, 3 from angle, 7 absent, 11 from 
middle. Hindwings over t, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 1/2; 3 and 4 connate or nearly so,
