LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 
889 
Male. Body moderately stout. Frontal tuft rather pro- 
minent. Proboscis short. Palpi stout, obliquely ascending, rising 
a little higher than the vertex ; second joint linear ; third very 
minute; each palpus furnished near the base with a short slender 
shaft, the latter adorned with a fan-shaped tuft. Antennae thick, 
slightly compressed, a little incrassated and distorted near the base. 
Abdomen linear, extending some distance beyond the hind wings ; 
apical tuft rather long. Legs stout, smooth ; spurs long. Wings 
without markings. Fore wings narrow, straight along the costa, 
rounded at the tips, moderately oblique along the exterior border. 
This genus resembles Lamida , on account of the appendages 
to the palpi, but is sufficiently distinct.
