Hindwings with 2, 3, 5 approximated at base, 4 absent, 6 to apex, 7 absent ; 

 lower margin of cell with basal pecten of hairs. 



Closely allied and superficially very similar to Heterocrossa, but immediately 

 distinguished by the stalking of veins 3 and 4, 8 and 9 of forewings.

Probably belonging to the group of Commophila, but very distinct by the
