grafha, Walsingham. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts spreading; ocelli posterior; tongue 
developed. Antennae 4/5 to almost r, in C rather stout, simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. 
Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint smooth-scaled, terminal joint as long as second, acute. 
Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. 
Forewings with 1^ slightly furcate or simple, 2 from towards angle, 3-5 approximated, 7 absent, r1 from 
middle or 4/5. Hindwings over r, trapezoidal, termen somewhat sinuate, cilia 1/2; 3 and 4 coincident, 
5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 approximated towards base.
