Type: D. kucomcra. 



Proboscis fully developed ; palpi porrect to rather beyond the frons and 

 moderately scaled below ; frons with large round corneous prominence wth 

 raised edges ; eyes large, round ; antennae of male minutely ciUated ; thorax 

 clothed almost entirely with scales and without crests ; tibiae smoothly scaled ; 

 abdomen smoothly scaled and without crests. Forewing with the apex rounded, 

 the termen evenly curved and not crenulate ; vein 3 from well before angle of 

 cell ; 5 from just above angle ; G from upper angle ; 7,8 stalked ; 9,10 stalked ; 

 11 from cell. Hindwing with veins 3, 4 from angle of cell; 5 almost fuUy 

 developed from just below middle of discocellulars ; 6, 7 from upper angle ; 

 8 anastomosing with the cell to near middle. 



In key differs from the other genera in the forewing having veins 7, 8 

 stalked and 9, 10 stalked, and from Hi/pangitia in the forewing having a corneous
