This genus closely approaches Brachmia in structure, differing in the 
smooth glossy head, the more generally costal termination of vein 7 of 
forewings, and the presence of metallic markings; the last-mentioned 
character, though apparently trivial, is constant and easy of appreciation, 
and the separation is undoubtedly natural, the two genera being not in 
fact very closely allied. I describe 10 new species, and include also in 
their places those already known from the Indian region.

middle, followed by an oblique fulvous streak from costa; a spot above 
dorsum before middle ; an oblique striga towards dorsum beyond middle ; 
a straight fascia before {, interrupted above middle, followed by a trans- 
verse somewhat lighter fuscous line ; terminal area beyond this tinged with 
fulvous and obscurely streaked longitudinally with blackish-fuscous, the 
streaks terminated in irregular pale violet-blue-metallic spots before margin ;
