38. Genus: Mictoeliroa Hmps. 
Characterized by short erect slender palpi and a large horny appendage with a raised edge on the frons. 
They are small insects of a slender structure, the body smoothly scaled and tuftless, with relatively short and 
broad forewings with an areole and a normal Noctuid neuration. Quite a number of typical species are known.
