PHOENICOPS 
Genus PHOENICOPS AVatsoii. 
Proceedings Zooiogical Society Loudon 1893, p. 30. 
Anloimae more than half the length of costa: club long aiul gradual with apieulus nioderale ami 
slender (Pig. AS 3). Palpi with third joint completely hidden by the hairs of second joint. Eyes 
red. Hind tibiae densely fringed in the male and sligiitly fringed in the female. Porewing witli 
costa nearly straight, apex subacute, termen slightly angled below apex, but otherwise straight in male 
and slightly convex in female: cell about twothirds the length of costa: vein 12 reaching costa before 
end of cell: vein 5 equidistant from vein 0 and from \ein 4; male Avithout a costal fold. Hindwiug 
with termen slightly quadrate: vein 5 i)reseut as a tubular vein. (Fig. ATb). 
Type. Phoenicops beata llewitsoii.

This genus is distinguished from Chaeiocneme by the absence of the costal fold in the male, the 
slightly cpiadrato termen of hindwing, the shorter ai)iculus and the hyaline spots of forewing.

We ha\'o one female from Kuranda in Avliich the hyaline S2)o(s of forcAving have entirely coalesced 
forming an uniuterrii 2 )ted band, and others showing a tendency in tlie same direction. Males from the 
same locality sometimes have the cell S 2 U)t, the s 2 )ot in area la at ludf, and the discal spots in areas 2 
and 3 of liiudAviug, centred 2 mle yelloAV, hyaline. One female, also from Kuranda, shows the cell spot 
and the discal sjjot of area 2 of hindwing, centred Avhite, hyaline.
