Front of the head moderately wide, not broader than long. Palpi rather 

 large, broad at the end ; third joint scarcely distinguishable from the second, 

 reaching well in front of the head. Antenna' plumose, the ends being sim- 

 ple. Body as in Cymatophora. Wings very large and broad; fore wings 

 with the costa straight, outer edge not quite so oblique as in Cymatophora, 

 distinctly scalloped. Hind wings long, extending far beyond the end of the 

 long slender abdomen, outer edge full, convex, and deeply scalloped. 

 Venation: costal vein free. Six subcostal venules; first and second very 

 long, equal in length ; posterior discal venule very oblique, much more so 

 than in the other genera of the subfamily. Hind legs in the male rather 

 long ; tibia? slightly swollen ; tarsi one-third shorter than the tibia?. Color- 

 ation as in Cymatophora, though there is a slight brownish-ochreous tinge 

 along the lines, which are deeply scalloped ; both pairs of wings marked much 

 alike. 



The long hind wings, which extend far beyond the end of the abdomen, 

 and are deeply scalloped, as well as the obtuse palpi extending beyond the 

 front of the head, separate tins genus from Cymatophora and 1'ephrosia, with 

 which it is most liable to be confounded. 



Larva — Short and very thick ; head not so wide as the body ; the third 

 thoracic segment swollen beneath. (Described from a drawing by Abbot.)
