rather short, expanded at apex ; terminal joint longer than 

 second, loosely scaled, with a ridge of hairs on upper 

 (posterior) surface from base nearly to apex. Thorax with 

 a posterior crest. Abdomen with a dorsal crest on basal seg- 

 ment, rarely also on second segment. Posterior tibiae smooth. 

 Forewino^s with areole lono^ and narrow ; or without areole 

 and with 8, 9, 10 stalked owing to the non-development of 

 the bar between 7 and 8. Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked^ 

 5 connate, anastomosing with cell to near middle. 



The abnormal neuration of the forewings I find in 

 parvella, st/mmicta, crystallites, boeopis^ and ahsfrNsa: not 

 in the other species.

Frons not projecting, but with an anterior tuft of scales. 

 Palpi very long, porrect : second joint very long, with long 

 hairs on lower surface forming an apical tuft; terminal joint 

 moderately long, under J. Antennae with basal joint thick- 

 ened, and with a small anterior apical tuft. Thorax with 

 a small posterior crest. Abdomen with dorsal crests on basal 

 two or three segments. Posterior tibiae smooth. Forewings 

 normal. Hindwings with 8 anastomosing with cell at J. 



Best characterized by the palpi and basal joint of 

 antennae.
