Leuronoma n.g. 
Head smooth; ocelli moderate, far posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 
f, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved,

Type chlorotoma Meyr. Besides the two following species I refer to this 
genus zymotis Meyr., in which species the terminal joint of palpi is shorter than 
the second, the termen of hindwings more sinuate, cilia i|. The genus is 
somewhat intermediate between Telphusa and Aristotelia.
