 Cicynna, Walk., 1. c, xiii, p. 1104 (1857). 



Antennae fasciculate. Palpi : second joint very hairy ; third joint 

 short ; extending beyond frons. Primaries : outer margin crenulate ; 

 vein 5 from above centre of discocellular ; 6 from upper angle of 

 cell ; 7 and 8 from end of areole. Secondaries : veins 3 and 4 from 

 a point, 6 and 7 from a point or short stalk.

this species, but its similarity to Audax, Dr., leads me 



to suppose it belongs here.

I place this species temporarily in the genus Elymiotis. 

 The type is a female and has lost its antennae. The 

 margins are crenulate ; vein 6 from upper angle of cell ; 7, 

 8, 10 from end of areole. Secondaries : veins 3 and 4 

 are apart ; 6 and 7 on short stalk ; 8 close to 7 to end of 

 cell. 



Ctianopha, gen. nov. 



$ . Antennas fasciculate. Palpi extending beyond frons ; second 

 joint long, third short. Collar tufted. Primaries broad ; outer 

 margin slightly crenulate and angled at vein 3 ; vein 6 from upper 

 angle of cell ; 7, 8, and 10 from end of areole. Secondaries : veins 

 3 and 4 from a point ; 6 and 7 stalked ; 8 close to 7 to near end of 

 cell.
