" Body more or less robust; antennae long and straight; wings large, generally of dull colours, 
with narrow, irregular, dark marks in the discoidal cell. 
" Head wide, scarcely tufted in front, 
" Eijes large, prominent, naked. 
Antenna' of very great length, slender, filiform at the base ; beyond the middle very gradually 
incrassated to a long, cylindrical, abruptly terminated, slightly curved club, having two 
very slender raised lines on the underside, with an impression between them. 
" Labial palpi small, very slightly projecting beyond the head, and elevated to the level of the 
middle of the eyes ; second joint lengthened, and apparently increasing in breadth 
exteriorly, in consequence of the ridge of hairs on its upperside, beyond the middle ; third 
joint very minute ; palpi of the males larger than those of the females. 
" Tongue spiral, of moderate length, robust, compressed towards the extremity, and provided 
with lateral spreading cilia. 
" Thokax more or less robust, clothed with woolly hairs ; wings generally of large size, with 
moderately strong veins ; ahdovien variable in size and thickness, according to that of the 
thorax. 
" Fore ivinf/s somewhat triangular, with a lengthened, boldly curved costa ; apical angle 
generally but shghtly rounded. Apical margin variable, but generally a little cmarginatc 
in tlic middle, nnd scarcely scalloped ; nearly three fourths of the length of the anterior. 
Inner margin about as long as the apical one, nearly straight. Costal vein strong, reaching 
a little beyond the middle of the costa ; subcostal vein with the first and second branches 
arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, third subcostal branch arising at 
a little distance beyond, or sometimes close to, the extremity of the discoidal cell,. and the 
fourth branch arising at about four-fifths of the length of the wing ; upper discocellular 
vein extremely minute and almost obsolete, arising from the subcostal at about one third 
of the length of the wing ; middle discocellular short, curved, and directed towards the 
base of the wing ; lower discocellular obsolete in the typical species, so that the cell is 
open ; median vein strong, its third branch moderately curved. 
" //incZ iviw/s rounded, slightly acuminated at the anal angle in the males of some species, 
slightly scalloped along the outer margin. Costal margin slightly rounded ; ])recostal vein 
cui-ved outwards, subcostal vein branching near its base ; upper discocellular forming the 
scarcely cun'ed base of the discoidal vein ; lower discocellular wanting, so that the narrow 
tell is open. 
Fore legs of the male very short and slender ; femur clothed bentvith with long divergent hairs ; 
tibia nearly as long as the femur, thickly clothed with downy hairs ; tarsus consisting of a 
single (doiigated attenuated joint, covered with a d(^iise uniform down. Of the female scaly, 
with the first joint of the tarsi greatly elongated, the three following short, the last 
abrii])fly ( crrainatcd, willi several pairs of spines bcncafb indicating tlio three intermediate 
joints llirougli (he scules of the limb.
