Hescription made from Lcelia bifascia . 
Proboscis very short ; palpi just beyond frons, of about length of eye, 
porrect, with last j oint slightly drooping ; first j oint very small ; second 
joint long and thin ; third joint nearly half of second joint and very thin ; 
second joint on under side with rather long hair, but on upper side the 
hairs are short, leaving the third joint well exposed; third joint with 
moderate hair only ; eye elliptical and less than width of frons, covered 
on under side by some very long hairs ; antennae bipectinate ; shaft well 
curved ; branches in nearly 8 times as long as thickness of shaft, forming 
nearly a straight line on under side and ending in 2 bristles ; frons, vertex, 
and thorax covered with long hair ; abdomen as long as hind wings ; legs 
covered with long hair ; fore tibia with the process only present in (J, 
which is long, pointed, and curved over end of tibia outwardly ;* mid 
tibia with 2 spurs ; hind tibia 'with 4 moderate spurs ; tarsae with smooth 
hair. 
Fore wing sub-triangular ; costa arched near base and apex, but in 
the middle hollowed out ; termen, inner margin, apex, and tornus well 
rounded ; vein 15 simple at base ; 2 from about f lower median ; 3 from 
§ the distance between 2 and 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 from well above 
the angle ; discocellular faintly visible, but present ; cell over \ of wing ; 
6 from upper angle (m figlina , however, it originates from about £ of disco- 
cellular ; 7 and 8 from a stalk of £ of 7 and coming from the upper angle ; 
9 and 10 on an equally long stalk and originating from upper median 
at J ; 9 at about £ length of stalk anastomosing with 8 just above its 
stalk for about £ free part of 8, so as to form an areole about 2 times 
longer than broad ; 11 from | upper median and nearly parallel to 10 
and 12 ; 12 free and somewhat curved. 
* In the $ of subrosea and diascia there is a thin process of f of tibia, just fitting in 
the hollow ; in the $ of punetulata the process is only a little longer than the tibia and not 
curved outwards, while in its $ the process is thin and § of tibia ; in Jiglina it is about as 
long as the tibia in $ and well curved, in its $ only as long as half the tibia and very thin.
