This genus is remarkable for its slender body, not longer 

 than the wings, and its large size and broad wings, which give 

 it a somewhat geometriform appearance. The antennae are 

 long, approximating at the base, and shortly pectinated in the 

 male, each pectination bearing a long recurved cilium ; in the 

 female the antennae are moniliform, sub-quadrate, and furnished 

 with two short cilia.
