Head smooth ; the forehead broad. Ocelli none. Antenna) setaceous, 

 with the basal joint elongiitc, subclavate. Tongue of moderate length, 

 clothed with scales. Maxillary palpi short, liliform. Labial palpi re- 

 ll(!xed, compressed; the terminal joint slender, pointed. Wings elon- 

 gate ; the anterior with ho hrmli beneath ; the posterior with distinct 

 .anal angle, v:Uh a nuked patch at the base. In the anterior wings the 

 lower branch of the ajjieal vein runs into the costa before the ai)ex ; the 

 tirst branch of the median vein is remote from the second ; the subdorsal 

 vein is sim^jle, but there are indications of a fork ; in the posterior wings 

 the costal cell is abbreviated, ceasing abruptly in tlu; middle of the 

 subcostal vein; a single vein proceeds from the transverse vein ; the 

 apical vein is simple. 



There is only one species in this genus; if a rarity it would be 

 considered extremely beautirul, but unfortunately being excess- 

 sively abundant, and in ;;ll oiu' houses, it is despised for less 

 beautiful insects of greater nviity. it is however rarely seen in 

 good condition, which may account for the neglect it experiences,
