" Head about equal in width to the thorax, thickly clothed with short hair-like scales. 
" Eijes nearly round, rather prominent, smooth. 
" Palpi porrect, ascending, clothed with scales, which are all short and appressed near the base, 
in part longer and hair-like towards the apex, the second joint with a dorsal tuft. First 
joint subcylindric, much curved, short ; second joint fully three times the length of the 
first, stout, considerably swollen beyond the middle, then diminishing towards the apex, 
which is truncate ; third joint much longer than the first, slender, elongate, conic, almost 
acicular. 
'■^Antennoi about three fourths the length of the body, slender, terminating in a short, abrupt, 
obtuse club, grooved below. 
" TnoEAx rather stout, oval. 
" Fore iving nearly triangular ; the apex more or less truncate, sometimes falcate. Costal 
margin sometimes but little curved, sometimes considerably -arched ; outer margin about 
two thirds the length of the costa, emarginate ; inner margin equal in length to the outer, 
straight. Costal nervuro rather strong, not extending beyond the middle of the costa ; 
subcostal nervure emitting its first and second branches close together, a little before the 
end of the cell ; the third at a point rather less than halfway between the origins of the 
second and fourth branches ; this last nearer to the third than to the outer margin of the 
wing ; the third terminating at the apex. Upper discocellular nervulo very short ; middle 
discocellular about equal in length to one third the width of the cell. Discoidal cell 
almost always open, the lower discocellular nervulo almost entirely wanting. Tliird median 
nervule considerably curved. 
" IJind w'dkj rounded or angular ; the anal angle often ])roduccd considerably. Costal margin 
not much curved ; outer margin sinuate, more or less dentate, often produced into a tooth 
or short tail at the termination of the third median nervule. I'ra^costal nervure mostly 
bifid. Costal nervure much curved near its origin. Discoidal nervulo separating from the 
second subcostal soon after its origin. Discoidal cell always open. Tliird median nervulo 
not much curved. 
"Fore ler/s of the male slender, clollied with scales and delicate hairs; fonnir considerably 
longer than tlie tibia ; tibia nearly eylindric, slightly slenderer towards tlie apex ; tarsus 
one-jointed, nearly one half tlie length of the tibia ; slender, subcylindric, somet imes ta])oring 
towards the apex, which is not unfrecpiontly truncate. Of tlie fcniuile ratlier small ; t'eiuur 
longer than tho tibia ; tibia subcylindric, smooth ; tarsus as long as, or l)ut little shorter 
than, the tibia ; first joint eylindric, twice or three times the lengtli of tlie rest combined, 
with a H])ine on each side at iho apex, and sometimes a fow scattered spines within ; 
second joint scarcely ono fifth, somotim(!S scarcely one seventh, of the lengtli of tlie first ; 
ftrraed at tho apex, as are tho two following joints, with two spines ; third, fourtli, and 
fifth joints very short, transverse, iho fourth tho shortest, the fifth sometimes broader 
tliiui the fourtli ; all, as is also the second, I'lirnislieil with a tdft of hairs on eacli side 
at the base.
