Genus TENDARBA. 



Mas. Corpus sat gracile. Fasciculus frontalis subproductus. 

 Proboscis nulla. Palpi laeves, graciles, oblique ascendentes, verti- 

 cem paullo superantes ; articulus 3us lanceolatus, 2o valde brevior. 

 Antennae setosae. Abdomen alas posticas paullo superans ; fasci- 

 culus apicalis minimus. Pedes pubescentes, sat robusti. Alae 

 anticae lata?, acuta?, costa basi convexa, margine exteriore vix 

 obliquo. 



Male. Body rather slender. Frontal tuft slightly prominent. 

 Proboscis obsolete. Palpi slender, smooth, obliquely ascending, 

 rising a little higher than the vertex ; third joint lanceolate, much 

 shorter than the second. Antennae setose ; bristles short, very 

 slender. Abdomen extending a little beyond the hind wings ;
