"We have been unable to refer this finely coloured 

 moth to any of the existing genera, and have there- 

 fore given it a generic appellation expressive of what 

 seems to be its most remarkable feature, namely, 

 the great length of the legs and antennas. The former 

 are very long and robust, when extended reaching 

 to the very apex of the wings, and the antenna?, 

 which are simple, are of corresponding dimensions. 

 The spiral tongue is developed and of some length. 

 The wings are pretty ample, the apex simple and 

 rounded ; their colour, entirely a deep rose red, 

 changing with the light, and marked with many 

 slender transverse yelloAvish striae. 

 The locality is unknown.
