LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 889 



Male. Body moderately stout. Frontal tuft rather pro- 

 minent. Proboscis short. Palpi stout, obliquely ascending, rising 

 a little higher than the vertex ; second joint linear ; third very 

 minute; each palpus furnished near the base with a short slender 

 shaft, the latter adorned with a fan-shaped tuft. Antennae thick, 

 slightly compressed, a little incrassated and distorted near the base. 

 Abdomen linear, extending some distance beyond the hind wings ; 

 apical tuft rather long. Legs stout, smooth; spurs long. Wings 

 without markings. Fore wings narrow, straight along the costa, 

 rounded at the tips, moderately oblique along the exterior border. 



This genus resembles Lamida, on account of the appendages 

 to the palpi, but is sufficiently distinct.
