Genus TANADA. 
Mas. Corpus sat gracile. Proboscis capitis latitudine longior. 
Palpi graciles, porrecti, pubescentes, caput superantes ; articulus 
3us minutus, conicus. Antennae subpectinatse. Abdomen alas 
posticas vix superans. Pedes graciles, longiusculi ; tibiae posticae 
calcaribus quatuor longiusculis. Alae angustae, longiusculae ; anticae 
apud costam subconvexae, apice rotundatae, margine exteriore sat 
obliquo. 
Male. Body rather slender. Head and thorax with flat-lying 
hairs. Proboscis" longer than the breadth of the head. Palpi slen- 
der, porrect, pubescent, moderately long, extending rather beyond 
the head ; second joint longer than the first ; third minute, conical. 
Antennae slightly pectinated, almost half the length of the body. 
Abdomen pubescent, hardly extending beyond the hind wings. 
Legs slender, pubescent, rather long ; hind tibiae with two rather 
long spurs. Wings narrow, rather long. Fore wings rounded at 
the tips, slightly convex along the costa and along the exterior 
border, which is oblique ; second inferior vein very near the first 
and the third ; third more than six times further from the fourth 
than from the second. 
This genus is perhaps as nearly allied to the Lithosiida as to 
the Liparidce , and seems to connect the two families.
