wing 1, elongate-subtrapezoid, termen gently sinuate above, broadly 
rounded beneath, without cubital pecten, cilia over 1; 2 from beyond 
middle, 3 and 4 connate from angle, 5 remote, strongly curved downward

Genotype Emmetrophysis lanceolata, spec, nov., male. 
Possibly correlated with Anisoplaca Meyrick, 1886, and only struc- 
turally with Phricogenes Meyrick, 1931, differing from both by the shape 
of the palpi and by the stalked veins 6 and 7 in the hind wing.
