Characters. — Antenna; in q* ciliated. Palpi moderate. porrected, second joint dilated with 

 rough scales above and beneath, terminal joint short. Thorax without crest. Forewings without costal 

 fold, 3 from angle, 7 separate, to termen. Hindwings without basal pecten; 3 from much before angle» 

 remote and nearly equidistant from 2 and 4. 4 from angle, 5 rather approximated to 4 at base, trans- 

 verse vein extremely obhque. 6 and 7 long-stalked. 



Remarks. — Excej>tionaI in this group in having 7 and 8 of forewings separate, but unques- 

 tionably veiy closely alHed to the following genus, and it is probable that the stalk of 7 and 8 has been 

 lost by absorption.

 former.
