Eyes glabrous ; palpi long, reaching beyond the irons, second segment ascending, wider and more curved than in Spindasis, clothed below with large erect scales, third segment hori- zontal, shorter than in Spindasis, clothed with adpressed scales ; antennae more slender than those of Spindasis, with a better differentiated, fusiform club ; thorax clothed below with white hair ; abdomen white-annulated ; <J fore leg more slender than in Spindasis, tibia shorter than the femur, tarsus long, unsegmented, spinose below. Wing shape. Hind wing produced at the anal angle, a delicate tail at the end of ib (in pseudozeritis, overlaeti, azurea and taposana there is also a short delicate tail at the extremity of vein 2), an indistinct lobe at the anal angle. Wing venation (Text-fig. 303). Fore wing with 10 or 11 veins ; vein 11 is sometimes absent entirely ; when present, it is reduced to a short stalk joining the upper margin of the cell to the costal vein ; veins 6 and 7 are also sometimes slightly stalked. Individual variations of this kind are frequent. Male genitalia (Text-fig. 145). Dorsally similar to Lipaphnaeus, except that the apex of the uncus is less deeply divided and the lateral margins are serrate ; subunci long, evenly curved and tapering ; tegumen reduced, intimately fused to the uncus but not with the vinculum ; vinculum narrow with a subtriangular saccus ; lower fultura shield-shaped, with deeply notched apex ; valves oblong with blunt apices, their basal thirds fused together, the upper processes connected midway by a membranous band which surrounds the penis as in the preceding genera ; internal portion of penis ovoid, the external port
