in gf with second joint expanded with dense scales, oval, concave internally, terminal joint absent; in Q 
very long, recurved, second jointsmooth-scaled, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary 
palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae smooth, with somewhat expanded whorls 
at origin of spurs. Forewings with 1» short-furcate, 2 remote, 3 and 4 closely approximated from angle, 
5 and 6 parallel, 7 absent, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings r, elongate-trapezoidal, cilia nearly r; 
3 and 4 stalked, 5 rather near and parallel, 6 and 7 approximated at base; in cf an expansible hair-pencil 
from base in submedian groove. 
Remarks. — Apparently a development of Doxogenes. 
Geographical distribution of species, — Ceylon. 
Larva unknown.

Tyne : D. brochias, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head smooth-scaled; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae over r, 
in G' simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi in c with second joint expanded with 
dense scales, oval, concave internally, terminal joint absent; in Q very long, recurved, second joint 
smooth-scaled, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, 
appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae smooth, with somewhat expanded whorls at origin of spurs, or 
seldom rough-scaled above (spectralis). Forewings with rib short-furcate, 2 and 4 almost connate or 
stalked from angle, 3 absent, 5 and 6 parallel, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, r1 from middle. Hindwings 
about r, elongate-trapezoidal, cilia 3/4-1; 3 and 4 connate or short-stalked, 5 rather near and parallel, 
6 and 7 closely approximated or stalked; in c with expansible hairpencil from base in submedian groove.
