Imago. — Head not quite as wide as thorax ; tuft near base of each 
antenna rather full ; short, broad, densely scaly and hairy ; 
terminal joint conical, short or very short [except in Dja^lmlce and 
Xohela, not projecting much beyond short hairs of middle joint] ; 
antennm of moderate length, with a more or less gradually-formed, 
elongate, fusiform club, tapering to a point, more or less bent or 
elbowed, but (except in Flesiis and some intimately allied species) not 
hooked. 
Thorax moderately stout, considerably shorter than abdomen. Fore- 
tvings rather broad ; costa scarcely arched beyond basal curve ; hind- 
margin entire or moderately denticulate (in Dja^Mce, Motoziy Nottoana, 
Fhyllophila, and Flesus, more or less excised or hollowed inferiorly 
between second or first median nervule and submedian nervure) ; 
inner margin straight ; costal nervure situated at some distance from 
costa, except at its extremity — at or a little beyond middle — where it 
abruptly curves upward ; discoidal cell about two-thirds length of wing ; 
lower radial originating a little nearer to upper one than to third median 
nervule ; first median nervule given off much nearer to base than to 
second median nervule ; in $ Nottoana a long costal groove or fold 
from near base to about middle. Hind-iuings rounded, not (or very 
slightly) produced about anal angle ; hind-margin usually slightly or 
moderately dentate (in Bjcdmlm decidedly so, and with a marked exca- 
vation between second subcostal and third median nervules). Legs of 
moderate length, rather stout, more or less hairy ; terminal spurs on 
middle and hind tibige long and strong, — the second pair on the latter 
also well developed ; tarsi more or less spinulose beneath ; spur on fore- 
tibiae rather large ; in male^ fore-tibige sometimes {Djcelcelx) with a long
