10. Genus Oxypalpus, nov. 



Type, ignita, Mab. 



Antennae : club moderate, elongate, with a short terminal crook. 

 Palpi widely separated, third joint very long and slender, erect, 

 curving over the vertex ; tip acuminate. Fore wing : costa straight ; 

 apex slightly acute ; inner and outer margins subequal ; cell less 

 than two-thirds the length of costa; vein 5 only sHghtly nearer to 

 4 than to fi ; vein 3 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 almost 

 equidistant from end of cell and base of wing. Hind wing evenly 

 rounded ; discocellulars and vein 5 not traceable ; vein 7 close to end 

 of cell. In the male vein 3 is given oflP far beyond the end of cell, 

 there being a glandular thickening of the median just before the 

 origin of vein 3 ; the glandular opening being on the upperside, 

 where it is partially concealed by a tuft of hairs, attached to the 

 upper margin of cell and directed outwards ; vein 2 almost equi- 

 distant from base of wing and vein 3. In the female vein 3 of the 

 hind wing is given out immediately before the end of the cell. 

 Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs.
