Forehead with projecting scales. Antennae in male filiform, 

 shortly ciliated (£). Palpi very long, straight, porrected, with 

 rough projecting scales above and beneath, somewhat attenuated, 

 terminal joint concealed. Thorax smooth. Posterior tibiae 

 smooth-scaled. Fore wings with veins 3 and 4 approximated at 

 base, 7 to hindmargin, surface with small tufts of scales. Hind-
