PEDOIS, Turn. 



Hairs of crown forming a strong projecting tuft between 

 antennae; tongue developed. Antennee three-fourths, in male 

 serrulate, very shortly ciliated (h), second joint thickened with 

 appressed scales and with rough projecting scales above to- 

 wards apex, terminal joint shorter, slender, acute. Posterior 

 tibiae clothed above with long hairs. Forewings : 2 from near 

 angle of cell, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle of 

 • cell. Hindwings (1), elongate-ovate, cilia one-third, 3 and 

 4 connate or short-stalked. 



I now restrict this genus (originally communicated by me to 

 Dr. Turner in a wider sense, and so described by him) to the 

 following single sjpecies only ; he has specified no type, and his
