LEI8T0G-ENES, n.g. 
Head with dense app.ressed hairs projecting in a tuft on forehead; 
ocelli inferior; tongue developed. Antennae J, cf strongly fascicu¬ 
late-ciliated, scape moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi very 
long, second joint long, porrected, thickened with dense scales 
projecting roughly above and forming a rough tuft at apex beneath, 
terminal joint shorter than second, erect, slender, smooth, pointed. 
Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above ; 
anterior tarsi slender, twice as long as tibiae. Forewings 16 
furcate, 2 from |, 3 and 4 connate from angle, 5 slightly approxi¬ 
mated, 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hind wings 1, 
trapezoidal, termen faintly sinuate, cilia ^ ; 3 and 4 remote, slightly 
approximated towards base, 4 from angle, transverse vein strongly 
outwards-oblique from 4 to 6, 5 from above middle of transverse 
vein, nearly parallel to 4, 6 and 7 nearly approximated at base, 
8 near and parallel to upper margin of cell to near angle, connected 
with it by oblique bar in middle ; no cubital pecten. 
Probably related to the Cryptophcim group, but an isolated type; 
the nearest American genus is Aerotypia.

sinuate, rather oblique; brownish-ochreous ; abroad costal stripe 
of whitish suffusion from base, becoming obsolete towards apex ; 
a blackish dot towards costa near base ; stigmata forming cloudy 
spots of ferruginous-brown suffusion, plical slightly before first
