" BoDT more or less robust ; antennae long and straight ; wings large, generall}' of dull colours , 
with narrow, irregular, dark marks in the discoidal cell. 
" Head wide, scarcely tufted in front. 
" Eyes large, prominent, naked. 
•'■ Antennm of very great length, slender, filiform at the base; beyond the middle verj' gradually 
incrassated to a long, cylindrical, abruptly terminated, slightly curved club, having two 
very slender raised lines on the underside, with an impression between them. 
" Labial palpi small, very slightly projecting beyond the head, and elevated to the level of the 
middle of the eyes ; second joint lengthened, and apparently increasing in breadth 
exteriorly, in consequence of the ridge of hairs on its upperside, beyond the middle ; third 
joint very minute ; palpi of the males larger than those of the females. 
" Tonr/ue spiral, of moderate length, robust, compressed towards the extremity, and provided 
with lateral spreading cilia. 
" Thokas more or less robust, clothed with woolly hairs ; wings generally of large size, with 
moderately strong veins ; abdomen variable in size and thickness, according to that of the 
thorax. 
" Fore ivings somewhat triangular, with a lengthened, boldly curved costa ; apical angle 
generally but slightly rounded. Apical margin variable, but generally a little cmarginate 
in the middle, aud scarcely scalloped ; nearly three fourths of the length of the anterior. 
Inner margin about as long as the apical one, nearly straight. Costal vein strong, reaching 
a little beyond the middle of the costa ; subcostal vein with the iirst and second branches 
arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, third subcostal branch arising at 
a little distance beyond, or sometimes close to, the extremity of the discoidal cell, and the 
fourth branch arising at about four-fifths of the length of the wing ; upper discocellular 
vein extremely minute aud almost obsolete, arising from the subcostal at about one third 
of the length of the wing ; middle discocellular short, curved, and directed towards the 
base of the wing ; lower discocolliilar obsolete in the typical species, so that the cell is 
open ; median vein strong, its third branch moderately curved. 
" Hind tuhvjs rounded, slightly acuminated at the anal angle in the males of some species, 
slightly scalloped along the outer margin. Costal margin slightly rounded ; precostal vein 
curved outwards, subcostal vein branching near its base ; upper discocellular forming the 
scarcely curved base of the discoidal vein ; lower discocellular wanting, so that the narrow 
cell is open. 
" Fore legs of the male very short and slender ; femur clothed beneath with long divergent hairs ; 
tibia nearly as long as the femur, thickly clothed with downy hairs ; tarsus consisting of a 
single elongated attenuated joint, covered with a dense uniform down. Of the female scaly, 
with the first joint of the tarsi greatly elongated, the three following short, the last 
abruptly terminated, with several pairs of spines beneatli indicating the three intermediate 
joints through the scales of the limb.
