inf umated ; squamula red ; nervures and stigma blackish ; pobra- 
chial areolet of the hindwing extending to the middle of the 
praebrachial ; prsebrachial transverse nervure distinct. Legs red ; 
hind tarsi and tips of hind tibiae faintly tinged with dusky. 
$ . First abdominal segment widened at the end. Terehra a little 
longer than the abdomen. Length, 2 ; wings, 4 lines. 
'Not known since the time of Haliday and Walker, 
the former of wliom discovered this insect in the He-

Fourth joint of the antennae not longer than the 3rd. Stigma 
elongate, cuneiform ; 2nd cubital areolet complete ; 1st inter- 
cubital nervure shorter than the 2nd abscissa ; 1st cubital areolet 
separated from the 1st discoidal ; recurrent nervure evected ; anal 
nervure nearly interstitial ; pobrachial areolet of the hindwing 
reaching to the middle of the prsebrachial. Abdomen of the § 
compressed. Terebra exserted, curved. 
This genus, like the preceding, is unknown to me ; 
it comprehends Haliday's 13th Section, Mac7'ocarpi, 
which, according to that author, presents the same 
characters as the 15th, Acarpi, gen. A.'spilota, Forst., 
except as to the wings. The character given by Forster 
for his genus Prosapha, is taken from the S only, to the 
exclusion of the $ . Haliday makes two species, but 
thinks it highly probable that the second is only the 
female of the first, notwithstanding the difference of their 
wings. 
(2) 1. Stigma very large, occupying more space 
than the 2nd cubital oreolet, and cutting 
off the 1st abscissa of the radial nervure 1. speculum, Hal. $ . 
(1) 2, Stigma much longer and more slender, con- 
founded towards its apex with the metacarp, 
and leaving exposed a portion of the 2nd 
abscissa 2. venusta, Hal. $ .
