LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 507 



Male. Body stout, smooth. Proboscis moderately long. 

 Palpi pubescent, rather slender, hardly ascending, extending much 

 beyond the head ; third joint linear, rounded at the tip, shorter than 

 the second. Antennae moderately long, rather broadly pectinated. 

 Abdomen very long, slightly tapering from the base to the tip, 

 extending for much more than half its length beyond the hind 

 wings ; apical tuft small. Legs smooth ; hind tibiae with four long 

 spurs. Wings rather narrow. Fore wings rounded at the tips ; 

 costa convex towards the base ; exterior border slightly angular in 

 the middle, oblique bindward ; interior border dilated towards the 

 base ; first, second and third inferior veins nearly contiguous at the 

 base ; fourth at some distance from the third. 



This genus is referred with doubt to the Limacodidce. It seems 

 to have same affinity to the Galleridce.
