tufts of hair on middle and at apex. Forewings without 

 areole, 8, 9, 10 stalked. Hindwings with 5 from below 

 middle (J), 8 anastomosing with cell to J.

Antennae bipectinate to apex in both sexes. Frons not 

 projecting. Tongue present, weakly developed. Palpi moderate, 

 ascending ; second joint long, much thickened, with loosely 

 appressed scales; terminal joint very short. Thorax with a 

 large hairy posterior crest. Abdomen not crested. Posterior 

 tibiae nearly smooth. Forewings without areole, 8, 9, 10 

 "stalked. Hindwings with 5 from well above angle (J), 8 

 anastomosing with cell at \. 



Tlie presence of a tongue and the basal anastomosis of 

 8 with the cell in the hindwings definitely place this genus 

 in the Noctuidae, as was done by Mr. Meyrick, although the 

 bipectination of antennae in both sexes gives it a deceptive 

 resemblance to the Liparidae.
