Epistomotis, Meyrick, Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. 17, p. 416(1906). — Type: H.vobusta, Butler. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts raised, connivent; ocelli small, posterior; 
tongue short. Antennae 2/3, in gf variably ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. 
Labial palpi long, ascending, second joint with long projecting apical tuft beneath, terminal joint as 
long as second, erect, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae clothed with long 
hairs above. Forewings with 16 furcate, 2 short, from near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, or 7 absent, 
Ir from middle. Hindwings r, elongate-ovate, cilia 1-1 1/2: 3 and 4 connate or short-stalked, 5 nearly 
parallel, 6 and 7 long-stalked or seldom coincident (6 absent). 
Remarks. — This genus has been found perplexing, but is really a derivative of Symmoca, with 
the exceptional feature of a strong palpal tuft.

and South Africa.
