with veins 3 and 4 short-stalked, 5 parallel .... Menecratistis Meyrick 
*) In Lecithocera nitens spec, now, veins 3 and 4 in the hind wing are remote. 
This species can be distinguished from the genus Telephata by less roughly haired 
median segment of palpi and by not stout neither compressed antennae in the male. 
2 ) The genus Diascepsis Durrant, 1915, is included tentatively, as it may not 
belong to Gelechiidae at all. We hope to return to this matter elsewhere.
