Tyne : P. Plaesiodes, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior ; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, 
in C minutely ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 
thickened with dense appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, moderate, acute. Maxillary 
palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings with 15 
furcate, 2 and 3 stalked from angle, 7 and 9 stalked, 7 to apex, 8 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, 
trapezoidal-ovate, cilia 3/5; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 connate. 
Remarks. — A derivative of Brachmia. In this family the termination of vein 7 of forewings may 
be costal, apical, or terminal. but in no instance (except AmpArgenes) can the termination of vein 8 be 
shown to be anything but costal; hence we must accept the view that the absent vein in the present 
genus is 8.
