Genus TANADA. 
Mas. Corpus sat gracile. Proboscis capitis latitudine longior. 
Palpi graciles, porrecti, pubescentes, caput superantes ; articulus 
3us minutus, conicus. Antenne subpectinate. Abdomen alas 
posticas vix superans. Pedes graciles, longiusculi; tibie postice 
calcaribus quatuor longiusculis. Ale anguste, longiuscule ; antice 
apud costam subconvexe, apice rotundate, margine exteriore sat 
obliquo. 
Male. Body rather slender. Head and thorax with flat-lying 
hairs. Preboscis longer than the breadth of the head. Palpi slen- 
der, porrect, pubescent, moderately long, extending rather beyond 
the head ; second joint longer than the first ; third minute, conical. 
Antenne slightly pectinated, almost half the length of the body. 
_Abdomen pubescent, hardly extending beyond the hind wings. 
Legs slender, pubescent, rather long; hind tibiz with two rather 
long spurs. Wings narrow, rather long. Fore wings rounded at 
the tips, slightly convex along the costa and along the exterior 
border, which is oblique; second inferior vein very near the first 
and the third; third more than six times further from the fourth 
than from the second. 
This genus is perhaps as nearly allied to the Lithosiide as to 
the Liparide, and seems to connect the two families.
