 or shortly stalked. Hind wing with 4 and 5 connate or shortly 

 stalked. Anal tuft yellow.

Genitalia similar to those of alhinella but without defined genital 

 plate; area about genital opening very weakly sclerotized. Lower 

 margin of genital opening concave and with a small notch in center. 



Type and paratype. — U.S.N.M. no. 51893. Paratype also in British

Type locality. — Aroa. Venezuela. 



Remarhs. — Described from three fenuiles, the paratypes distributed
