Maxillae th, basal joint very short, co hairs, second joint about four ti scales, third joint clothed with sate-oval, slenderer than the second, the scales of which alate, with a fusifore, forehead broad

Anterior wings triangular, the outer and inner th of the anterior Costal nervure two-thirds the entire length of the wing; subcostal nervule slightly deflected towards the end of the cell, throwing off its first nervule at about one-third of its length, the second about the ins of the second and third nervules not as long as that between the first and second, the fourth arising just before the end of the cell: upper discocellular nervule very short, the second discoidal equidistant from the first discoidal and the third median nervule, the disco-cellular nervules al off its first nervule not far from the base, the third nervule a little bent where the discocellular joins it, radial nervure running nearly parallel with the inner in a little above the anal angle Posterior wings broad, se in only two nervules, discoidal nervule nearly atrophied; discocellular the sae Base of these wings in thecorneous retinaculum, which arises fros rather long; anterior tibiae with a curved spine on the inside, covered by the long scales of the tibiae, anterior tarsi twice the length of the tibiae, basal joint longer than the rest combined, second and third equal; the two coth of the first, fourth and fifth very short, together about equal to the third

Second pair with the tibiae about two-thirds as long as the tarsi, with nu their sides and two stout ones at the apex; joints of the tarsi having about the same relative proportions as in the anterior pair Posterior tibiae and tarsi nearly as in the second pair

Claws of all the tarsi stout, simple
