23. Genus: lMi*a<lop$fs Warr. 
Similar to the genus Dirades Wkr., but the antennae of the £ strongly bipectinate. The hair-pencil 
at the inner margin of the hindwing very strong. Type: perfallax Warr. 
0, perfallax Warr. (59 i). Very similar to I), leucocephala Wkr. Wings shorter, broader, darker grey.

D. alberta Warr. (59 i). Forewing pale grey, strewn darker. Lines darker with light margins, from 1 3 
and 3 / s of the costal margin, excurved, and interrupted in the middle, to a dark brown spot at the inner margin, 
this spot being narrower in the q and above more rounded than in the 9. A submarginal row of dark spots 
and a dark grey triangle at the costal margin behind the exterior line. Hindwing browner. Exterior line of
