Paradowvus, Staint. 
Stainton has misapprehended the structure of the palpi of this genus, and 
I am not aware that his error has been corrected; the joints of the labial 
palpi which he describes as basal and second are really the second and 
third, and their structure is as in Xyrosaris, from which this genus differs 
by having the antenne shorter than the forewings.

what raised dots scattered over wing; a moderately large semicircular
