XII. CEcoPHORiD^ — (continued). 



53. Brachynemata, Meyr. 



Head, smooth, sidetufts loosely spreading. Antennse in ^ 

 somewhat serrate, shortly ciliated (^), basal joint with strong 

 pecten. Palpi moderate, second joint not exceeding base of 

 antennae, densely scaled, rather loosely beneath, terminal joint 

 rather shorter than second, slender, recurved. Thorax smooth. 

 Forewings elongate, hindmargin oblique. Hindwings rather 

 narrower than forewings, elongate-ovate, cilia |. Abdomen 

 moderate. Posterior tibiaj clothed with long fine hairs above, 

 Forewings with vein 7 to hindmargin, 2 from somewhat before 

 angle of cell. Hindwings normal. 



Only differs from Goesyra by the shortness of the antennal 

 ciliations, and might perhaps be eventually united with it ; the 

 single species nearly resembles the group of Cms. ecliptica. 



349. Brack, ciagulata, n. sp. 



Minor, alls ant. dilutius flavis, fascia postica incurvata subtus 

 dilatata fusca ; post, dilute griseis.
