Head smooth. Ocelli none. Antennae towards the base thickened, 
with hairy scales on the back of the base, with the apex comparatively 
naked, slightly ciliated. Labial palpi reflexed, ascending above the 
vertex, the end of the middle joint equal with the forehead; the second 
joint compressed, with appressed scales; the terminal joint slender, 
pointed, nearly as long as the second joint. Maxillary palpi short. 
Tongue somewhat longer than the anterior coxae, clothed with scales.

WILSONIA, n. gen. * 
Hind wings very narrow and acutely pointed, with very long cilia. 
The costa is dilated near the middle. The submedian vein is nearly 
obsolete. The costal vein enters the costa just beyond the dilation. 
The subcostal is simple, attenuated and obsolete from the middle of 
the wing to the base. The discoidal cell is closed by an extremely 
attenuated discal vein, which gives rise to two nervules, the upper of 
which appears to be a lower branch of the subcostal, but is unconnected 
with it and is continued through the discoidal cell to the base of the 
wing as a false nervule. The median vein runs near the inner margin 
and subdivides into three equidistant branches". 
Fore wings lanceolate. The discoidal cell is long and narrow, and 
appears to be unclosed. The subcostal vein subdivides into five branches, 
the apical branch bifid, both its nervulets are delivered to the costa 
behind the tip. The median is 4-branched. The submedian furcate 
at its base. 
Head smooth, with appressed scales. Without ocelli. Eyes small. 
Antennag simple, about one-half as long as the fore wings; basal joint 
slightly thickened with scales. Labial palpi recurved, tips equal, at 
least, to the vertex, rather slender, especially towards the base, with a 
spreading, limited tuft of scales over the articulation of the middle and 
terminal joints and thence to the base smooth and slender; terminal 
joint, about as long as the middle, roughed with scales from its base to 
the tip, cylindric, pointed and thicker than the basal portion of the
