Wings short : fore wing narrow, apex pointed, exterior margin obliquely convex ; 

 costal vein much recurved; first subcostal branch emitted at two thirds before end of the 

 cell and nearly touching costal towards the end ; second emitted at one third, bifid, the

 third near its base and anastomosing with it to one third its length ; discocellular very slender, 

 bent close to each end, concave in middle, radials from the angles ; middle median from 

 near end of the cell, lower at nearly one half before the end. Hind wing short, very broad, 

 exterior margin convex and somewhat angular in the middle ; two subcostals at some 

 distance from beyond end of the cell ; discocellular very slender and obliquely concave, 

 radial from near its low^er end ; two upper medians from acute lower angle of the cell, lower 

 median at nearly one half before the end. Body moderate ; palpi ascending, first and 

 second joints laxly pilose beneath, the hairs shortening to the tip, second joint slightly 

 tufted above and ascending to a level with eyes, third joint as long as second, naked, very
