 naked. Tongue weak. Palpi moderate, porrect, shortly hairy 

 beneath; terminal joint moderate, hairy. Antennae in both sexes 

 bipectinated, apical 4 simple. Thorax with a very small posterior 

 crest. Abdomen with a small crest on dorsum of first segment. 

 Femora and tibiae densely hairy; anterior tibise with a deep naked 

 groove on internal surface; posterior tibise with two pairs of short 

 spurs. Forewings with vein '2 from |, 3 from before angle, 6, 7,

 before 7. In neuration it agrees with Fentonia, Butl., as defined 

 by Hampson (' Moths of India', i. p. 147) but the palpi appear to 

 be different.
