cous, white in the middle of the wing. Hind-wings dull

 domen with two iridescent spots near the tip. 



Antennas fuscous, annulated with white. Head and labial

Wings with long cilia. Hind-wings very narrow, lanceo- 

 late. The subcostal vein is attenuated towards the base of 

 the wing, and near the middle of the wing divides into two 

 branches. The median vein runs near the inner margin of 

 the wing, and divides into two short branches. The discoidal 

 vein, often indistinct, is simple and free. 



The fore-wings are lanceolate, often nearly caudulate. 

 The discoidal cell is closed, long and narrow. The subcostal 

 vein is rather remote from the costa and throws off from the 

 cell three branches to the exterior margin, and two to the tip 

 of the wing from the exterior end of the cell, sometimes a 

 furcate branch. The median vein gives off two very short 

 branches from its extreme end to the inner margin behind the 

 tip. The submedian has a long fork at its base. 



Head above and in front smooth. No ocelli. Antenna 

 sometimes thickened with scales to the middle, generally 

 slender, simple, basal joint elongated, frequently with a tuft 

 of hair. Labial palpi slender, rather porrected, with a slender 

 prolonged tuft from the second joint, the third joint pointed. 

 Tongue scaled, about as long as the anterior coxae or a little 

 longer. 



The larva is a case bearer, changing to a pupa within the 

 case.
