Palpi breves, articulo secundo squamis supra et infra projectis vestito, articulum apicalem 
pcene occult antibus. Caput supra floccosum ; thorax jylenus. Alee anticce ( ^ revolucro costali 
nullo) latitudine ter longiores, costd leviter arcuatd, margine apicali obliquo apud venam 
quartam subito inciso ; venis 7\ et 8'* vix separatim originatis, W- ad costam finitd. Ala> posticce 
subovutce, sub apnce leviter impressce, venis iis Grapliolithee similibus : color es varii, diniidio dorsali 
scepius costoi dissimili, capite huic vel illi concolori. 
Palpi short, projecting about the length of the head beyond it, compressed ; the second 
joint thickly clothed with long scales, projecting below and around the scarcely exposed apical 
joint ; thorax stoi;t ; abdomen rather broad, slightly tufted in male. Fore wings without a 
costal fold in the male, fully three times as long as wide ; the costa gently and evenly arched ; 
apical margin oblique, abruptly indented on branch 4 ; veins 7 and 8 scarcely separate at 
their origin ; branch 8 ending in the costa : the dorsal margin bulging at the base, nearly 
straight beyond. Hind wings subovate, slightly indented below the apex; branches 3 and 4 
from a common pedicle ; branch 5 not bent over at its origin, rather remote from branch 4, as 
in the genus Grapholitha : very variable in colouring, with indistinct abbreviated costal 
streaks ; the dorsal margin usually differing considerably in colour from the costal half of the 
wing; an ill-defined ocellated spot above the anal angle. Head corresponding in colour some- 
times with the dorsal, sometimes with the costal margin. 
Type Proteopteryx emarginana. 
Proteopteryx emarginana. (Plate LXXVI. figs. 2-6.) 
Palpi short, projecting about the length of the head beyond it, with the head greyish 
white, reddish brown, or ferruginous, corresponding either with the costal or dorsal half of 
the wing : antennse simple in both sexes. Fore wings — fully three times as long as wide, with 
the costa slightly arched ; the apical margin oblique, abruptly indented on vein 4 — whitish 
or reddish brown, usually with a prolonged dorsal patch from near the base to beyond the 
middle, extending over half the wing ; chocolate-brown, ochreous white, or ferruginous, in 
contrast to the paler or darker colour of the opposite half : the costa is slightly streaked ; the
