 at base, 8 connected by bar with middle of cell. 



Only the one species is properly ascertained. 



1. H. asella, Schiff. 15-20 mm. Forewings in t? dark 

 purplish-fuscous, in ? rather dark ochreous-brownish. Hind-

It is doubtful how far other 

 species which have been placed 

 with this are to be regarded as 

 truly congeneric.
