Described from a single type with palpi missing. This unique type 

 is still preserved in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cam-

 is in such condition as to prohibit generic recognition. 



The type shows the species to be a large, broad-shouldered insect, 

 with basal half of forewings white and extreme base blackish brown.
