Head rather broad in front, closely scaled. Palpi slender, porrect; outer 

 third ot' second joint surpassing the front ; third joint minute, pointed acutely. 

 Antennae pectinated; in female subsimple. Thorax rather slender. Fore 

 wings with the costa straight. Apex obtuse, rectangular, more acute in the 

 female; outer margin bent slightly in the middle, not angulated; below 

 much rounded ; in the female with the apex more produced, acute. Vena- 

 tion : The subcostal cell is long and narrow; six subcostal venules, the 

 two discal venules together forming a deeply-curved line. Hind wings broad : 

 internal angle rectangular, passing beyond the tip of the abdomen. Apex 

 acute, especially in the female, outer margin excavated below the apex, two- 

 toothed, much produced above the middle, convex, not angulated. Legs 

 rather slender; hind tibiae hardly thickened, female as much so nearly as 

 the male; spurs thick, obtuse, of moderate length ; tarsi three-fourths as long 

 as the tibiae. Abdomen short and slender, compared with the great expanse 

 of the wings. Anal tuft slight. Coloration : yellow ; two costal ochreous 

 spots. A subinternal, oblique, broad band, continued on to the costa of the 

 hind wings, and re-appearing on the internal margin. Surface dotted with 

 ochreous specks. 



This genus differs from Epione in the more obtuse apex, the slight hetid 

 in the outer edge of the wing, and in the female antennae being subpecti- 

 nated. 



Larva. — The body gradually increases in size to the segment bearing 

 the first pair of abdominal legs; the head is flattened go as to be square above. 

 Body smooth. Pupa of the usual form.
