obtuse. Maxi Miry palpi moderate, stout, porrectcd, triangularly 
expanded with dense scales rough at apex. Thorax with posterior 
crest. Posterior tibiae with appressed scales. Forewings with 
somewhat raised scales; 2 from 3 from angle, 7 to termen, 11 
from middle, secondary cell developed. Hind wings 1, oblong- 
ovate, cilia ^ ; 2-7 nearly 7 parallel, 2 from near |-, 3 from towards 
angle, 4 from angle. 
A singular form of which the immediate affinity is quite uncer¬ 
tain ; the maxillary palpi are unique in the Tineina , and only 
matched-in sojne Pyrales.
