 PSYCHOGOES, n. gen. 



Allied to Secusio [8. aiinulata), the primaries considerably 

 broader, with the discoidal cell shorter, the subcostals united 

 at the base, so as to form two pr^ediscoidal cellules, from the 

 second of which the true branches are emitted, the first 

 branch simple, the second trifurcate, a third branch (the con- 

 tinuation of the main subcostal nervure) emitted from the 

 supero-exterior angle of the cell; the radial emitting a recun*ent 

 false vein backwards through the cell to the base ; neuration 

 of secondaries almost as in Secusio ; body rather more slender ; 

 palpi extremely short, barely extending beyond the front of 

 the head ; antennas slender, watli very short pectinations. 



Type P. aterrima. 



24. Psychogoes aterrima^ n. sp.
