Fore wing sub-triangular ; costa a little arched at -J and slightly 
hollowed at f ; termen much and inner margin a little arched ; apex and 
tornus well rounded ; lb simple at base ; 2 from before § lower median ; 
3 from beyond \ of 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 from J discocellular, 
which is angled into the cell at f and giving off a faint vein into the cell ; 
cell a little over J ; 6 from well below the upper angle ; 7 and 8 on a 
stalk of \ of 7 and from upper angle ; 8, 9, and 10 stalked for nearly J of 
10, originating from beyond f upper median ; 9 anastomosing with 8 as 
soon as 8 comes from the stalk for nearly J of 9, so as to form an areole 
about 3 times longer than broad ; 10 comes from § of areole ; 11 from 
before § of upper median ; 12 oblique. 
Hind wing broad, sub-triangular ; costa, termen, and inner margin 
rounded ; apex and tornus well rounded ; tornus forming a rounded lobe 
at lb ; la and lb straight ; lc faintly represented ; 2 from before § lower 
median ; 3 from f 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 from J discocellular, 
which is angled at middle ; 6 from a little below upper angle ; 7 from the 
angle ; 8 connected with the upper median by a very short bar at 
In Cropera sericea the palpi are more drooping ; 5 is nearer to 4 ; 
there is no trace of a veinlet in the cell ; 6 is from upper angle ; 11 is from f . 
The hind wing has no trace of lc ; discocellular is oblique and angled 
at §, where it emits a trace of a vein into the cell ; 6 and 7 are from a 
point ; 8 approaches upper median at f, but does not anastomose with it 
and is not connected with it by a bar. In the fore leg of the $ there is 
also a very short, thm process. 
Aurivill. states ( l.c . p. 67) that perculta belongs to this genus, but, as 
stated under Bazisa, this species is much more primitive and requires a 
genus of its own. 
Only two species are known to me that fall under this genus. 
1. a. Ground colour of wings buff-yellow (IV) ; fore wing with 
a dark spot at discocellular testacea. 
b. Ground colour of wings cream colour (XVI) ; no dark spot 
on fore wing sericea . 
Cropera testacea, Wlk., Cat. IV, p. 826 (1855) (pi. IV, fig. 4). 
Lcelia testacea , Hmpsn., Ann. S.A. Mus., p. 394 (1905). 
This and the following species was placed under the genus Lcelia , but 
it can be seen that this is certainly wrong, as Lcelia has the palpi three 
jointed, the process of the fore leg is much longer and curved at the end 
outwards ; 3 and 4 of hind wing are closer to each other than 2 and 3 in 
Lcelia, while 6 and 7 are in that genus on a rather long stalk.
