 domen with the hind borders of the segments and the apical tuft 

 pale cinereous. Wings with two dark brown oblique denticulated 

 postmedial lines, which are bordered on the outer side with pale 

 cinereous; marginal lunules blackish. Fore wings with a dark 

 brown, hardly oblique, slightly zigzag line, which is bordered with 

 cinereous on the inner side and has near its outer side a white

Genus NAZUDA. 



Mas. Corpus sat gracile. Proboscis brevis. Palpi squamosi, 

 erecti, sat graciles, verticem longissime superantes ; articulus 3us 

 lanceolatus, 2i dimidio paullo longior. Antennae setose. Abdomen 

 alas posticas sat superans. Pedes graciles, femoribus posticis 

 tibiisque anterioribus fimbriatis, tibiis posticis dense firabriatis. Alae 

 anticae latae, apice rectangulatae, margine exteriore subconvexo per- 

 parum obliquo. 



Male. Body rather slender. Proboscis short. Palpi squa- 

 mous, erect, rather slender, very much longer than the breadth of 

 the head, and rising very much higher than the vertex ; third joint 

 lanceolate, a little more than half the length of the second. An- 

 tennae setose. Abdomen extending rather beyond the hind wings. 

 Legs slender; hind femora and anterior tibiae fringed; hind tibiae 

 densely fringed ; spurs long, slender. Wings broad. Fore wings 

 rectangular at the tips ; exterior border slightly convex, very 

 slightly oblique ; discal fold very distinct ; a slight fold in each of 

 the spaces between the inferior veins. 



This genus is nearly allied to Capnodes, from which it may be 

 distinguished by the form of the third joint of the palpi and by the 

 structure of the apical abdominal tuft of the male.
