 Procotes, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. xii. p. 355 (1875). 

 Forewing long, narrow, exterior margin oblique ; cell long, narrow, extending 

 two-thirds the wing ; first subcostal branch bifid, emitted at one-sixth before end of 

 the cell, third, fourth, and fifth from end of the cell ; discocellular obliquely concave, 

 emitting a slender discoidal veinlet within the cell, radial from upper end ; two upper 

 median branches on a foot-stalk half length beyond the cell, second from angle close 

 to end of the cell, lower at one-sixth before the end ; two submedians, lower slender : 

 hindwing long, narrow, apex pointed, exterior margin very oblique ; costal vein 

 extending to near apex ; subcostal slender, curved upward to costal from end of the 

 cell and terminating at the apex, second branch bent downward and outward ; disco- 

 cellular bent inward, emitting a short slender discoidal veinlet within the cell from 

 the angle and the radial from above the angle ; cell large, broad ; three upper 

 medians on a foot-stalk descending at equal distances apart beyond the cell, lower 

 branch at a short distance before end of the cell ; submedian and internal vein nearly 

 straight. Body short, stout ; palpi short, thick, squamosa ; antennse slightly bipecti-
