Allied to Filinota Busck, with which it agrees in having 3 and 4 

 stalked in the forewings and coincident in the hindwings as well as 

 in the long antennae ; but differing in the presence of the antennal 

 pecten ; in the longer terminal joint of the palpi, and in the stalking 

 of vein 9 in the forewings with 7 and 8.
