 curving from end of the cell and free from the third ; upper radial 

 from end of the cell, discocellular obliquely concave, lower radial 

 from near its middle ; cell long, very narrow at the base ; upper 

 median branch from angle above end of the cell, middle branch 

 from the end, lower at one fourth before the end ; submeJian curved 

 downward near the base. Hind wing very broad, triangular ; costa 

 convex near the base, apex convex ; exterior margin very oblique, 

 waved ; abdominal margin long ; costal vein slightly arched near 

 the base, extending to apex ; two subcostal branches from end of 

 the cell ; discocellular slender, concave ; radial very slender, emitted 

 from below middle of discocellular ; cell short, broad ; two upper 

 median branches from end of the cell, lower at one fourth before 

 the end ; submedian and internal vein straight, the latter extending 

 to anal angle. Thorax robust ; abdomen long, somewhat slender, 

 and extending beyond the wing ; palpi ascending, slender, second 

 joint squamose, reaching to vertex, third joint half its length, cylin- 

 drical ; femora pilose beneath, tibiae tufted above ; antennae setose. 



Near to Dipterygia. The American genus Magusa (Walker, 

 Catal. Lep. Het. B. M. xi. p. 762) is a very closely allied form.

 colour, the fore wing having less distinct transverse sinuous markings,
