Head with appressed scales, sido tufts wide, appressed, Ocellus absent. Proboscis 
very short. Labial palpus rather short, porrect, median segment strongly expanded 
posteriorly by roughly projecting hairs, terminal segment short, subacute. Maxillary 
palpus minute or concealed. Antenna moderately ciliated in male. Thorax without 
crest. Pore wing without costal fold, subovate, thinly scaled, with transverse ridges 
of raised scales, veins raised, fringed with roughish scales forming numerous small 
tufts, lh short-furcate at base, 2 from 2 / 3 — 3 / 6 of lower edge of cell, 3 from angle, 
3—6 and 8 — 11 tolerably parallel, 3—4 approximated or 3—5 almost equidistant, 
7 separate from angle, to termen, 8 from slightly before apex, 11 from 1 / 3 — 2 / s of 
upper edge of cell. Hind wing semipellueent, without cubital pecten, elongate- 
semiovate, 1 / 2 — 3 / 4 ; cilia I to over 1; 2 from 4 / 5 — 5 /e> 3 from angle, 4 remote, 
seemingly from upper angle of cell, 5 long, almost parallel, seemingly from 1 / 2 or 1 / s 
of upper edge of cell (actually from almost horizontally running closing vein), 
6 and 7 long, stalked, stalk from uppor edge of cell towards base of wing, 8 from base. 
Genotype: Diadems pteroneura Meyrick, 1907 (India, Ceylon, Java?, Australia). 
A development of the Schoenotenes type. A considerably specialised form, 
represented by the above mentioned species, by two more from India, one from the 
Andaman Islands, four from Java, and one from Sumba. All have in common 
small size and pale ochreous or whitish colouring.

Head with dense, roughly appressed scales. Ocellus absent. Proboscis moderate. 
Antenna moderately ciliated in male. Labial palpus moderate, porrect, median 
segment strongly dilated by roughly projecting scales towards apex, terminal 
segment moderate, slender, subobtuse. Maxillary palpus absent (concealed?). 
Thorax without crest. Pore wing without costal fold, with small tufts of scales 
along veins, lb furcate along basal fourth, 2 from 2 / ;) of lower edge of cell, 3 from 
angle, 4 separate, approximated towards base, 5 parallel, 7 separate, from angle, 
to termen, 8 from slightly before angle, 1 1 from before middle of upper edge of cell ; 
a strong parting vein from about halfway between base of cell and vein 1 I to above 
base of vein 5. Hind wing semipellueent, without cubital pecten, elongate -semiovate, 
1 — 2 / 3 , cilia r/i ; 2 from 5 / 0 of lower edge of cell, 3 from angle, 4 rather remote, 
approximated towards base, 5 from 4 / 5 of cell, 6 and 7 long, stalked, apparently 
from base of wing, anastomosing by a short vertical bar with 2 / 5 of cell. 8 from base. 
Genotype Proactenis tricomma Diakonoff, 1941 (Sumatra), male, female. 
Intermediate between the preceding genus and Schoenotenes, also correlated with 
Proselena. Three species from Java and one from northeast New Guinea are known 
at present

Head with appressed scales, long on vertex ; face smooth. Ocellus absent. Proboscis 
short. Antenna serrulate in female, scape slightly elongate. Labial palpus moderately 
long, subascending, clothed with smoothly appressed scales, median segment slender, 
gradually, but little dilated posteriorly, slightly roughish at apex above, terminal 
segment moderate, under l / 3 , smooth, subobtuse. Maxillary palpus vestigial. Thorax 
with a slight posterior crest. Fore wing rather narrow, pointed, with a small discal 
tuft of raised scales, lb furcate to beyond 1 / 4 , 2 from middle, 3 and 4 stalked from
