erect, end member comparatively long. Maxillary palpi pencil-tufted, the bilobed 
members heavy, long, the penciling very long and heavy. Antennal process short, 
long scaled. Wings with heavy costal fold and vitreous spot beneath in <{. Legs 
rather heavy, loosely scaled, tarsi spinulated, on fore legs only at tip. Genitalia with 
furcate base of uncus curved upward. Venation as in Lanthaphe, but 6 is separate 
in fore and hind wings, and to and 11 are stemmed in the fore wings. 
I am not altogether certain this venation is constant, so far as vein 
6 is concerned. The specimens ] have examined vary so much that 
others may be found to correspond with Lanthaphe. In that case the 
genus would rest on the stemming of 10-and 11 in the fore wings.
