" Head about equal in width to the thorax, thickly clothed with short hair-like scales. 
" Eyes nearly round, rather prominent, smooth. 
" Palpi porrect, ascending, clothed with scales, which are all short and appressed near the base, 
in part longer and hair-like towards the apex, the second joint with a dorsal tuft. First 
joint suhoylindrio, much curved, short; second joint fully three times the length of the 
first, stout, considerably swollen beyond the middle, then diminishing towards the apex, 
which is truncate ; third joint much longer than the first, slender, elongate, conic, almost 
acicular. 
'■^Antenna; about three fourths the length of the body, slender, terminating in a short, abrupt, 
obtuse club, grooved below. 
" TnoEAX rather stout, oval. 
" Fore wing nearly triangular ; the apex more or less truncate, sometimes falcate. Costal 
margin sometimes but little curved, sometimes considerably arched ; outer margin about 
two thirds the length of the costa, emarginate ; inner margin equal in length to the outer, 
straight. Costal nervuro rather strong, not extending beyond the middle of the costa ; 
subcostal nervure emitting its first and second branches close together, a little before the 
end of the ceU ; the third at a point rather less than halfway between the origins of the 
second and fourth branches ; this last nearer to the third than to the outer margin of the 
wing ; the third terminating at the apex. Upper discocellular nervule very short ; middle 
discocellular about equal in length to one third the width of the cell. Discoidal cell 
almost always open, the lower discocellular nervule almost entirely wanting. Third median 
nervule considerably curved. 
"Bind winr/ rounded or angular; the anal angle often produced considerably. Costal margin 
not much curved ; outer margin sinuate, more or less dentate, often produced into a tooth 
or short tail at the termination of the third median nervule. Prtecostal nervure mostly 
bifid. Costal nervure much curved near its origin. Discoidal nervule separating from the 
second subcostal soon after its origin. Discoidal cell always open. Third median nervule 
not much curved. 
" Fore legs of the male slender, clothed with scales and delicate hairs ; femur considerably 
longer than the tibia ; tibia nearly cjdindric, slightly slenderer towards the apex ; tarsus 
one-jointed, nearly one half the length of the tibia ; slender, subcylindric, sometimes tapering 
towards the apex, which is not unfrequently truncate. Of the female rather small ; femur 
longer than the tibia ; tibia subcylindric, smooth ; tarsus as long as, or but little shorter 
than, the tibia ; first joint cylindric, twice or three times the length of the rest combined, 
with a spine on each side at the apex, and sometimes a few scattered spines within ; 
second joint scarcely one fifth, sometimes scarcely one seventh, of the length of the first ; 
armed at the apex, as are the two following joints, with two spines ; third, fourth, and 
fifth joints very short, transverse, the fourth the shortest, the fifth sometimes broader 
than the fourth ; all, as is also the second, furnished with a tuft of hairs on each side 
at the base.
