Head much as in Endropia, but with the frontal scales projecting more 

 between the palpi, which are large and stout, extending as far beyond the 

 front as in Endropia, but with the joints less distinct; the third joint a little 

 depressed. Male antennae heavily pectinated, as in Endropia; in the female 

 simple. Thorax thick, hairy. Fore wings witli the costa sinuous, falcate; 

 outer edge with a large conspicuous angle, and serrate in front of and behind 

 it, a little excavated below the apex. Hind wings distinctly serrate and 

 dentate, with no prominent angle in the outer edge; they reach slightly 

 beyond the tip of the abdomen. Venation: much as in Endropia, the costal 

 vein free ; the first and second subcostal venules free, equal in length, the 

 third unusually short, the fit\.h rather short. No subcostal cell; the anterior 

 discal venule short and much curved ; the posterior one very obhque. Hind 

 legs with the tibia3 scarcely swollen, and the tarsi large and as long as the 

 tibiae. The abdomen is ratiier stout. Coloration: ochreous-brown, tinged 

 on the costa, along tlie extradiscal line, and on the under side with violet. 

 Fore wings with three j)arallel lines. 



In this genus, Ijesidcs its peculiar style of coloration, tlie fixlcate wings 

 and serrate outer edge, the hind til)i;B are not swollen as in Endropia, and 

 the hairs on the front project more, while the posterior discal venule is 

 remarkably oblique. It is more nearly related to Endropia than any other, 

 and, as in tliat genus, thc^ wings of the female are broader and a little more 

 taleatc than in tlie male.
