Proceedings Linnean Society N. S. Wales 1887, j). 833. 
Anteuuae more than half the length of costa: club stout, abrupt and hooked, with apiculus short, 
lalpiivith third joint long and porrect. Eyes brown. Hind tibiae slightly fringed in male. Eorewing 
ritli costa straight, apex acute and termen nearly straight: cell less than twotliirds the length of costa: 
rdn 12 reaching costa just before end of cell: vein 5 nearer to vein G than to vein 4: male without 
j ccdalfold. Hindwing with temien rounded: vein 5 present. 
Tvpe. Exometoeca nycteris tMeyriek. 
Readily distinguished from the other genera of the subfamily by the palpi and the small size. 
The presence of vein 5 in the hindwing, and the position in repose (described by Meyrick) place it in 
llie Eesperinae.
