Original description, Turner, 1898
HYLYPNES, n.g.
Head with appressed hairs; ocelli absent; tongue well developed. Antennae moderate, in male filiform, with very long ciliations (5), basal joint rather stout, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint nearly as long as second, smooth, acute. Maxillary palpi very short. Thorax smooth. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae rough-haired above and beneath. Forewings with vein 1 long-furcate towards base. 2 from 5/6, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hind margin, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, towards base below median and inner margin densely clothed with long hairs, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at base, tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 connected with cell at a point near base.
Distinguished from Xylorycta by the very long antennal ciliations.

Original description, Lower 1896
Crypsicharis pudica, n. sp.
Male, 20 mm.; Female, 22 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, antennae, legs and abdomen creamy-white; second joint of palpi externally fuscous; antennal ciliations of male 3; anterior and middle legs more or less infuscated. Forewings moderate; costa gently arched, apex obtuse; hindmargin obliquely rounded; vein 7 to hindmargin, creamy-white, extreme costal edge fuscous towards base (faintly perceptible), a small black dot in middle of wing at one-third; a second obliquely beyond on fold, and a third above second; a series of fuscous dots from beneath costa at two-thirds; curved round hindmargin to inner margin before anal angle; cilia white. Hindwings and cilia white; veins 6 and 7 stalked. Not unlike a faded specimen of some species of Hoplitica (Oecophoridae), especially sobriella, Walk.
Four specimens beaten from Eugenia at “Kedron Book,” Brisbane, Queensland, in January. The species under notice may ultimately require a new genus to receive it, as the neuration of the hindwings is not in perfect accord with Crypsicharis, but as intermediate forms may be discovered in the future I consider it advisable to refrain from forming a new genus at present.
Subsequent description, Turner 1898
Hylypnes pudica, Lower. (Crypsicharis pudica, Lower, Proc. Roy. Soc. S.A. 1896, 164.) Male, 16-19 mm. Female, 20-23 mm. Antennal ciliations in male, 5. The sexes differ in shape of forewing. In male apex is obtuse and hind margin rounded; in female apex acute and hindmargin slightly sinuate.
Brisbane; commonly taken among tropical forest growth.
