Antennse in ^ with long fine ciliations (4-5), basal joint stout. 

 Palpi in ^ moderately long, in ^ very long, porrected, second 

 joint with dense projecting scales above and beneath, terminal 

 very short, exposed. Forewings : 8 and 9 stalked. Hindwing.s 

 with basal pecten on cell; 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 6 absent.
