from the third ; submedian and internal nervures straight. Antenna 

 long, moro than two-thirds the length of the costa of the forewing, the 

 club lengthened, very slender, the apes of the club long and thin. 

 Palpi densely hairy, porrect, the third joint hidden beneath the second. 

 Thorax smal). Abdomen slender, a little longer than the anal angle of 

 the hindwing. Legs, foreleg, tibia with an epiphysis ; hindleg, femur 

 thickly fringed, tibia with two pairs of spines. Type Ge geta, 

 de Niceville. 



The genus appears to be nearest to Matajpa^ Moore, and Sepa* de 

 Niceville, differing from both in the unique character of the ' { sex-mark" 

 in the forewing. It differs from the former in having the antennse 

 perceptibly longer, with a much more slender club, with a longer and 

 slenderer apical crook. The sexual tuft of hairs in the genus Ge reminds 

 one of that in Baoris oceia, Hewitson, but in the former it is much 

 smaller, circular, and placed on the upperside of the forewing ; while 

 in the latter it is much larger, elongated, and placed in the middle of 

 the cell and extending far beyond the cell, lying across the bases of the 

 three median nervules, on the upperside of the hindwing. B. oceia has 

 a glandular patch of scales placed on the middle of the submedian 

 nervure of the forewing on the underside, and extending well 

 beyond that vein on either side, which is wholly wanting in Ge. 

 The pale patch in Ge geta on the disc of the hindwing on 

 the upperside is almost certainly sexual, the scales being much 

 modified ; there is also a tuft of long hairs attached along the subcostal 

 nervure and partly covering the pale patch of modified scales, which 

 also is almost certainly a male sexual character.
