LOEODIPLOSIS n. g. 



This genus is erected tor certain small, orange or yellowish orange 

 species having the anterior claws unidentate and the third vein unit- 

 ing with costa well beyond the apex [pi. 38, fig. 8]. The palpi are 

 quadriarticulate and the basal clasp segment lobed, the terminal clasp 

 segment being slender and subapical [pi. 40]. The harpes are 

 strongly curved and heavily chitinized. The wings are illustrated

 genus, though it w^ould not be surprising if they, like the allied My-
