Genus B^optila, nov. 

 (Baioptilos, with little wings.) 



Frons flat. Tongue well-developed. Labial palpi mode- 

 rate, cylindrical, slightly ascending; terminal joint long, toler- 

 ably acute. Antennal joints triangularly dilated at apex; 

 ciliations in d minute. Forewings with 8 and 9 stalked, 10 

 separate but closely applied to 8-f 9, 11 absent. Hindwings
