Ilionarsis gen. n. Hairs on head loosely forward, antennae of male finaly and densely ciliated below, labial palpi long, porrect, second joint with very large pointed brush, third joint nude, sharply ascending, longer than second, acuminate. Wings broadly lanceolate, tapering to a sharp tip. Venation of forewing : sc to 1/3 of costa, r

Belongs to the Holcopogon Stgr. — Bubulcellodes Amsel group-complex (Scythrididae), and nearest to Arragonia Amsel, as this is the only one of the related genera that has its m

Head, thorax, scapulae, antennae, brush of labial palpi a light, strawcolored or greyish ivory white, third joint of labial palpi brownish. Forewing a straw-colored ivory white, with but some light fawn-colored brownish scales inside cell (forming a longer patch in its middle and a spot at its end) ; there are brownish scales also on dorsum before outer angle.
