Palpi upturned, third joint 3 \ / J almost concealed. Fore wing: outer margin very much longer than inner margin, the apex being very conspicu- ously produced; cell more than two- thirds the length of eosta; male with cl^^t^t^ntToumZ' oi ^ costal fold; discocellulars very primary oblique, the lower one slightly the longer; vein 3 shortly before end of cell; vein 2 close to base of wing. Hind wing anally produced, and with an inconspicuous tooth at vein lb; vein 7 close to end of cell; discocellulars and vein 5 barely traceable; vein 3 immediately before the end of the cell; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind tibiae with a long fringe of coarse hairs and with two pairs of spurs.'' In our fauna the very long apiculus sepa- rates this genus from all others. Fig. 3. 1.

I have compared Cramer's, Westwood and Hewitson's and Skinner's figures, and find that the two latter agree very well, but that, even allowing for the poor quality of Cramer's figure, they can hardly be euribates Cramer.
