PISISTItATA, n. g. 
Head loosely rough-haired ;• ocelli posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae 4, in S pubescent, basal joint enlarged into a moderate 
scaled eyecap. Labial palpi in S very long, recurved, second 
joint (except base) and terminal joint broadly expanded with 
dense rough projecting scales to apex, terminal joint rather shorter 
than second; in 5 long, porrected, rather thickened with appressed 
scales, terminal joint shorter than second, obtuse. Maxillary 
palpi moderately long, several-jointed, folded, filiform. Posterior 
tibiae clothed with long fine hairs. Forewings apex downturned ; 
2 from near angle, 2-5 rather approximated, 7 to costa, 7 and 8 
nearly approximated towards base, 11 from towards base. Hind- 
wings 1, ovate-lanceolate, cilia 1; 3 absent, 5 and 6 connate from
