Head a little wider in front than in iSici/u, and rather more square Ihan 

 in Heterolocha ; hairs on the front projecting more than usual. Palpi longer 

 than in those genera, extending farther than usual beyond llu^ front ; they are 

 large, stout, ascending, and the tiiird joint large and very distinct. Male 

 autennte thick, compressed, simple; in the female slender and simple. Fore 

 wings rather short and broad, the cosia slightly convex; apex falcate, espec- 

 ially in the female, regularly excavated below the apex, not so suddenly so as 

 in Sicya ; a well-marked angle in the middle of the outer edge. Hind wings 

 with an unusually large angle, much more prominent than in Sicya, extending 

 slightly beyond the end of the al)domen. Venation : costal vein anastomos- 

 ing with the subcostal ; the first four subcostal venules equal in length ; a 

 long, narrow, subcostal cell; the discal venules together forming a curved 

 line. Hind legs with the tibiee swollen; tarsi two-thirds as long as the tibite. 

 Coloration: deej) yellow, with a large costo-apical brown spot, and the edge 

 of both wings often brown, sometimes clear. 



This genus differs from 8/cya and Heterolocha in the simple antennre, 

 the well-angulated hind wings, subfalcate fore wings, and swollen hind tiljiir. 

 It differs from Epione by the simple antennae, the entire hind wings, which 

 are not excavated in front of the median angle as in Epio/ie, wliile the fore 

 wings are more falcate.
