 Fore wing with even outer margin 2. Callizzia. 



1. CALLEDAPTERYX Grote 



Fore wing with arched costa, sharply curved down at the apex; outer margin 

 toothed below M 3 , deeply excavate above, and slightly below the tooth; anal 

 angle broadly toothed, and inner margin sinuate. Hind wing with very strong 

 teeth on R and M 3 , and lesser ones on the other veins, especially Mj. Fore wing 

 with R a and R„ well separated, arising from cell; Rj and R 4 long-stalked from 

 well before end of cell; and R-„ Mj, and M? from the apex. Body slender, antenna? 

 simple, a little prismatic, palpi small; hind tibiae swollen in male. The moth 

 rests with the fore wings held somewhat rooflike, covering the hind wings, 

 which are wrapped about the body.

 blackish along the margin; two roughly parallel dark lines, with a brown shade 

 between them at inner margin; a dark brown line just within the outer margin
