'The differences from Comibaena, except the narrower wings and more Dichroma-like facies, are 
perhaps rather slight, yet sufficient; the rough-scaled hindleg, yet without the dilation and process, the 
anastomosis of SC? of forewing and the longer approximation of C of hindwing to cell are all 
distinctive.

Paraprasina. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 4, p. 43 (1897). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in cf moderate, in Q long, second joint with long pro- 
jecting scales, third joint smoother-scaled, in 9 ratherlong. Tongue wanting. Antenna in cj! bipectinate 
nearly to apex, with rather long, decreasing branches; in Q very shortly bipectinate. Pectus densely 
hairy. Femora hairy. Hindtibia in gf not dilated, in both sexes with terminal spurs only. Tarsi 
spinulose. Abdomen not crested, in Q very robust. Frenulum in gf moderately developed, arising 
before slight basal expansion, in Q vestigial. Forewing with costa arched at base and distally, straight 
between, apex squared, termen smooth, oblique, little curved, cell about one-half, DC strongly incurved, 
SC! from cell, anastomosing shortly with C or free, SC? normal, SC?* longer-stalked than usual, 
R!stalked, R? from well above middle of DC, M! separate; hindwing with termen smooth, rounded 
towards apex. otherwise rather straight, tornus pronounced, cell little less than one-half, DC incurved, 
C approximated to cell to fully one-half, not very rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, R? from near R!, 
M! connate or very short-stalked. 
Early stages unknown.

I49. GENUS MICROLOXIA, WARREN 
Microloxia. Warren, Proc. Zool, Soc. Lond. p. 354 (1893). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus moderate to long, fairly strong, second joint rather long, 
shortly scaled beneath, third joint smooth, in cf small or moderate, in Q long. Tongue present 
(sometimes rudimentary). Antenna in 5 bipectinate to three-fourths with moderate to long branches, 
in Q serrate-dentate. Pectus moderately hairy. Hindtibia in both sexes with terminal spurs only. 
Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in cf weak, from before strong basal expansion; in Q wanting. 
Forewing with costa not or scarcely arched, apex moderate, termen shghtly rounded, moderately 
oblique, cell nearly one-half, DC somewhat incurved, SC! from cell, anastomosing with or running 
into C (rarely free), SC? normal, anastomosing with SC!, or running into C, or free, R! about connate,
