LEPIDOPTEEA HETEROCERA. 1895 



Male. Body rather slender. Head very prominent in front. 

 Proboscis short. Palpi smooth, slender, erect ; not rising near so 

 high at the vertex; third joint lanceolate, obliquely ascending, less 

 than half the length of the second, with which it forms a slight 

 angle. Antennae smooth. Abdomen extending rather beyond the 

 hind wings ; apical tuft very small. Legs smooth, hardly stout ; 

 spurs moderately long. Wings long, narrow. Fore wings acute ; 

 exterior border slightly convex, moderately oblique. 



This genus, like the preceding one, may have some affinity to 

 the Hyponomeuiidce.

anticis albis, tegulis posticis auratis ; abdomen apice ochra-
