Head a little wider in front than in Sicya, and rather more square than 

 in Heterolocha ; hairs on the front projecting more than usual. Palpi longer 

 than in those genera, extending farther than usual beyond the front; they are 

 large, stout, ascending, and the third joint large and very distinct, Male 

 antennae thick, compressed, simple; in the female slender and simple. Fore 

 wings rather short and broad, the costa slightly convex; apex falcate, espec- 

 ially in the female, regularly excavated below the apex, not so suddenly so as 

 in Sicya ; a well-marked angle in the middle of the outer edge. Hind wings 

 with an unusually large angle, much more prominent than in Sicya, extending 

 slightly beyond the end of the abdomen. Venation : costal vein anastomos- 

 ing with the subcostal ; the first four subcostal venules equal in length ; a 

 long, narrow, subcostal cell; the discal venules together forming a curved 

 line. Hind legs with the tibia? swollen ; tarsi two-thirds as long as the tibiae. 

 Coloration : deep yellow, with a large costo-apical brown spot, and the edge 

 of both wings often brown, sometimes clear. 



This genus differs from Sicya and Heterolocha in the simple antennas, 

 the well-angulated hind wings, subfalcate fore wings, and swollen hind tibiae. 

 It differs from Epione by the simple antenna?, the entire hind wings, which 

 are not excavated in front of the median angle as in Epione, while the fore 

 wings are more falcate.
