Genus SIGNETA nov. 
Antennae about twotliirds the length of costa: clubs abruptly bent before the middle, with the tips 
pointed. Palpi with third joint moderate, blunt and porrect. Forewing with costa nearly straight, and

tormen shorter than dorsum; vein 5 arising nearer to vein 4 than to vein 6, but except close to its 
base about equidistant between them: vein la in male evenly bowed towards dorsum before middle: 
male with an ovoid sexmark between vein la at half and cell. (Fig. AN). 
Type. Sig7ieta fammeata Butler. 
The two species of this genus are easily recognised by the peculiar distortion of vein la of fore- 
Aviiig, which api^ears to have some relation to the curious sexmark, though the distortion occurs nearer 
the base of the wing than does the sexmark: vein la is only slightly l)OAved in tlie female. 
iVIabille Avrongly places S. flammeata in his genus Oxyioxia as a synonym of T. chmhledayi, in spite 
of his having described the genus Oxytoxia as liaving a straight discal sexmark.
