289. GENUS OXYGNOSTIS, NOV. GEN. 
Type : O. diacma, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 
over 1, in cf simple, basal joint moderately 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, slender, second joint smooth, scales somewhat rough at apex beneath, terminal joint as long 
as second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae and tarsi 
rough-scaled above. Forewings with 15 long-furcate, 2 remote, 3 from angle, 4 and 5 stalked, 8 and 9 
out of 7, 7 to costa, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings 1r, elongate-trapezoidal, cilia over 1; 3 and 4 
connate, 5 obsolete, 6 and 7 stalked, 6 in c to costa, in Q to apex; in cf with expansible hairpencil 
from base in submedian groove. 
Remarks. — A development of Teucrodoxa.

290. GENUS TEUCRODOXA, NOV. GEN. 
Type : T. spiculifera, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 
over r, in c simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten, in gf with slight apical scale-projection. 
Labial palpi in cf with second joint expanded, with dense scales, oval, concave internally, terminal 
joint absent; in Q very long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, roughly projecting at apex 
beneath, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed 
to tongue. Posterior tibiae and tarsi with rough hairscales above. Forewings with 1? long-furcate, 
a from 3/4, 3-5 closely approximated or 3 and 4 connate, 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to costa, 11 from near 
middle. Hindwings r, elongate-trapezoidal, cilia r; 3 and 4 connate, 5 obsolete, 6 and 7 stalked, 6 to 
apex or termen; in ci an expansible hairpencil from base in submedian groove. 
Remarks. — A derivative from Tíimyra.
