deeply incurved, but very variable, C appressed to cell to one-half (the appression sometimes including 
a slight anastomosis), very rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, M! connate, stalked or approximated. 
Early stages unknown. 
Evidently related to Oosfila (e. g.. O. obeliscata), but distinct in the tufted metathorax, partly 
aborted cf hindleg, smooth, subhyaline scaling, crenulate hindwing, etc.

Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus long, slender, second joint shortly rough-scaled beneath, 
third joint smooth, elongate (especially in the Q). Tongue present. Antenna less than one-half, in 
the c bipectinate to about two-thirds, in 9 shortly bipectinate (Palliata), ciliate (rubricorpus) or almost 
simple (oosfzla). Pectus hairy. Femora slightly hairy. Hindtibia in both sexes with terminal spurs 
only 2). Abdomen crested, in Q robust. Frenulum arising from before some basal expansion, in C 
moderate, in Q obsolescent. Forewing with costa slightly arched, more so towards apex, apex moder- 
ate, termen curved, oblique, waved, cell rather less than one-half, DC incurved, SC! usually free, 
occasionally anastomosing briefly with C, SC? normal, R! stalked (type. etc.) or separate, M! stalked 
(tvpe) or separate; hindwing with termen convex, typically well-prounded, waved or subcrenulate 
(in rubricorbus somewhat elbowed at R? and straighter in tornal half), cell less than one-half, 
DC? somewhat incurved, C approximated to, or even slightly anastomosing with cell near base 
(in Palliata point-anastomosing, then rapidly diverging), SC? stalked, R? normal, M! stalked. 
Early stages unknown. 
Evidently derived from a form akin to Arcihlora; in some respects may be compared with 
Comibaena, Spaniocenira, etc. The species included are not very perfectly homogeneous, and unfortu- 
nateiv only one balliata) 1$ known; but there is no difficulty in including them in a single genus.

1) Weassume that Warren drew up his diagnosis from the true caZ/zoge, which is unknown to us; but it is quite likely that the caZ/iofe of Warren 
was truly oc&ezdeni, Druce, which has certainly been passing in collections under the name of ca/Zoze. and on which our own diagnosis is based. The 
two may possibly be geographical forms of a single species. 
2) Unfortunately both hindlegs lost in the sole known example of the type species, butits relationship to 2«5ricormus is sufficiently close to 
justify our giving this character.
