190 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
straight, porrected, densely scaled, above with rough projecting hair-scales diminishing towards apex, 
terminal joint much shorter than second, obliquely ascending, slender, acute Maxillary palpi very short, 
filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-haired above. Forewings with r$ furcate, 2 and 
3 stalked, 7 absent, 8 and 9 stalked, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, termen slightly 
sinuate, cilia 3/5; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 closely approximated 
at base. 
Remarks. — Probably a development of Trichotaphe. 
Geographical distribution of species. — Indian and African. 
Larva unknown.

262. GENUS NOEZA, WALKER 
Noeza, Walker, List Lep. Het. Brit. Mus. Vol. 35, p. 1839 (1866). — Type : N. telegraphella, Walker. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts somewhat raised; ocelli very small, - 
posterior; tongue developed. Antennae r, in (7 rather strongly ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, 
without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint broadly thickened with dense scales, 
triangularly expanded above and with projecting apical tuft, terminal joint longer than second, very 
slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with 
tolerably appressed hair-scales above. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked, 6 to apex, 7 absent, r1 from 
middle. Hindwings over 1, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 1/3; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 
connate or stalked, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 closely approximated at base. 
Remarks. — A peculiar form of which the immediate affinity is uncertain. 
Geographical distribution of species. — South American. 
Larva unknown.

llingiotis, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 275 (1914). — Type : I. sevectella, Walker. 
Sirogenes, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 3, p. 3 (1923). — Type : I. thermophaea, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae almost r, in c 
, serrulate, minutely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, 
recurved, second joint with scales triangularly expanded and rough on terminal edge, sometimes with 
projecting apical tuft beneath, terminal joint as long as second or longer, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi 
very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 16 
furcate, 2 and 3 stalked, 7 absent, 8 and 9 sometimes stalked, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, 
apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate, cilia 1; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated 
towards base, 6 and 7 connate. 
Remarks. — Perhaps really allied to Cymotricha, but without cubital pecten.
