EXOTIC A1ICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
not sinuate, without cubital pecten ; 1 a- 1 c well-marked, 1 b fur¬ 
cate basally, 2 from | of cell, 3 and 4 approximated at base, 
4 from angle, 5 curved and somewhat approximated to 4, 6 and 7 
straight, remote, strictly parallel, 6 to just below apex, 8 quite 
free, rather near and parallel to cell throughout. 
A curious and abnormal genus, but in all essential characters 
approaching Leuce and probably nearly related to it; distinguished 
from it by the absence of sinuation in termen of hindwings.
