jointed. Palpi incurved. Auxiliary vein usually united to the 
first longitudinal vein by the sub-costal cross- vein ; anterior branch 
of the second longitudinal vein short, ending either in the first 
longitudinal or the costal vein ; third sub-marginal cell with a 
vex’y short petiole. 
Genus 10. Pseudoplatyura, gen.nov. 
Antennae almost cylindrical, 2- -t- 13-jointed. Palpi incurved. 
Auxiliary vein not united to the first longitudinal vein by a sub- 
costal cross-vein and joining the costa before the tip of the 
marginal ci'oss-vein ; anterior branch of the second longitudinal 
vein rather long, taking its origin considerably before the tip of 
the fir.st longitudinal vein, but ending in the costal vein. 
B. Proboscis lengthened. 
Genus 11. Antriadophila, gen.nov. 
Antennae very little compressed, 2- + 12-jointed. Palpi incurved. 
Auxiliary vein not united to the first longitudinal vein by a sub- 
costal cross-vein, joining the costa immediately before the tip of 
the marginal cross-vein ; anterior branch of the second longitu- 
dinal vein short, joining the costa ; petiole of the third sub-

Genus 13. Sciophila, Meig. 
Tip of the costal vein uniting with the tip of the second 
longitudinal vein at the apex of the wing. Base of the second
