12 veins, without fovea below, 10 and 11 from one stem from cell ; 

 hind wings veins all separate, 8 separate from cell, 5 undeveloped ; 

 all wings even, rounded. 



Peculiar in the fewness of the segments of the antennae, these 

 being not more than about one-half the usual number. The genus 

 is structurally very close to Chloraspilates Pack., which it antedates.

 woolly below ; abdomen smooth ; legs smooth, hind tibise not swollen,

 without fovea in ^ , 12 veins, 10 from 9, 11 from cell; hind wings

Close to Mellilla Grt. ; the antennse of % , however, have the 

 pectinations filiform, and the segments shorter and more numerous.
