Proboscis very short ; palpi in the short, just reaching frons, some- 
what drooping : second joint nearly as long as first joint, hairy under- 
neath, at tip, and also above ; in the $ the palpi are long, second joint 
2 times longer than in thiid joint very long (§ of second joint), thin, 
and pointed, second joint with long hah underneath and with tri-lobate 
scales at the sides, third joint not hidden ; eye elliptic, moderate, less 
than frons ; frons with a tuft of hair ; antennae very short, only J of 
costa, bipectinate ; branches about 8 times the shaft, without bristles at 
the end, but much ciliated ; in $ the branches are about 6 times the shaft 
and are getting suddenly shorter towards apex ; thorax covered with long 
straight hairs and with 2 dorsal scale tufts near abdomen ; abdomen short 
in <}, about f of hind wing ; in $ longer, a little over hind wing , in both 
sexes moderately hairy above and with longer hair ventrally ; a dorsal 
tuft of hairs and scales ; hairs of anal segment long in <J, moderate in § ; 
legs over their whole length, including the tarsae on the outer side, with 
very long hair ; fore legs in the with a broad roundly pointed process, 
as long as tibia and with short hair on the outer side ; process in $ broader, 
but thinner and slightly shorter, apparently broadened to a thin lamella 
at least § of its length and covered with a large number of stiff bristles, 
oveilapping the lamella, giving it the appearance of being a striated 
lamella, between the bristles some thinner hairs ; mid and hind tibiae 
each with 2 spurs only. 
Fore wing of ^ triangular ; costa slightly hollowed out ; termen 
oblique and with the inner margin straight ; apex rounded ; tornus 
slightly rounded ; lb simple at base ; 2 from before | lower median ; 
3 from f 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 from just above the angle ; disco- 
cellular thin and hollowed out ; cell over J of wing ; 6 from well below 
the upper angle ; stalk of 7 and 8 from upper angle ; 7 from 8 before J 
of 8 ; stalk of 9 and 10 from upper median close to the angle ; 9 from 10 
at -J- of 10 ; 9 anastomoses at | stalk of 7 and 8 for about J of free part 
of 8, so as to form a long and narrow areole ; 11 from beyond f- upper 
median, and parallel to 12 ; 12 parallel to costa for a great length. 
In $ the areole is broader, as the stalk of 9 and 10 comes from upper 
median about 2 times further from the angle than in the <J ; the areole
