Gen. Nesiotica, nov. (I'v/criomKog, belonging to an island). 



Tongue well developed. Palpi slender, ascending, not 

 reaching vertex. Antennae in male bipectinate to apex. 

 Fore wings with 2 from i, 3 and 4 long-stalked, 5 absent, 

 6, 7, 8, 9 stalked ; or 6 connate with 7, 8, 9; 7 arising out of 

 8 beyond 9, 10 absent, 11 free. Hindwings in male without 

 basal costal expansion, 2 from f, 3 and 4 coincident and from 

 angle of cell, 5 somewhat curved at base towards 3 but well 

 separated from it, 6 and 7 long-stalked, 8 anastomosing with 

 cell as far as middle. 



Closely allied to Goniosema, Turn., but in this vein 6 of 

 forewings arises remote from 7, 8, 9. In the latter there is a 

 strong basal costal expansion in hindwings, but I do not lay 

 much weight on this.
