This genus incUides most of the larger and handsomer 

 moths of the family. Their bodies are very stout, and as 

 long, or longer, than the fore-wings, which are about twice as 

 long as broad, with the costa arched, the tip well marked, but 

 not very acute, and the hind margin rounded off obliquely. 

 The hind-wings are oval, nearly as broad as long, about half 

 as long as the fore-wings, with all the angles completely 

 rounded off. 



I have figured two species, representing rather different 

 sections of the genus.
