oblique ; radial wanting ; median bent upwards at vein 2 ; rein 3 

 equidistant from 2 and 4 ; vein 2 close to end of cell, very remote 

 from base of wing. Hind tibise with two pairs of spurs, the upper 

 pair minute. 



The above description is from a female of the type species. In 

 the male vein 3 of the fore wiug is further from the end of the cell, 

 and there are the following secondary sexual characters : — a discal 

 patch of silky hairs on the upperside of fore wing, a long tuft of 

 hairs on underside of fore wing at base of submedian, and two 

 glandular streaks situated on veins 2 and 3 of the hind wing. 



Closely allied to Ganf/ara.

Type, thrax, Linn. 



Antennae not hooked ; club moderate, gradually thickened, ter- 

 minal portion bent at more than a right angle, and gradually 

 tapering to a point. Palpi : second joint pressed close against 

 the face, densely scaled ; the third joint entirely concealed. Fore 

 wing : inner and outer margins subequal ; cell considerably less 

 than two-thirds length of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa before 

 the end of cell ; upper angle of cell acute ; upper discocellular 

 minute, middle and lower discocellulars slightly oblique, the middle 

 one the longer ; vein o nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 hardly twice 

 as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 almost equidistant from vein 3 and 

 base of wing. Hind wiug : outer margin sinuate, slightly lobed 

 towards anal angle ; vein 7 nearly equidistant from 6 and 8 ; middle 

 discocellular erect, lower strongly outwardly oblique ; vein 5 want-
