This is a small genus of rather doubtful position, being 

 placed by some entomologists with the Noctuce. The body 

 is stout, with the thorax slightly crested, with lateral fasciee, and 

 the abdomen, which extends a little beyond the hind-wings, 

 is tufted at the extremity. The antennae are pectinated to the 

 tips in the male, and the legs and palpi are very hairy; the 

 hind tibiae are armed with four spurs. Wings long and rather 

 narrov/, with the hind margin rounded.
