This genus possesses most of the general characters of the 

 genus Sassida, from which it principally differs by the venation 

 of the tegniiua, only two longitudinal veins being emitted from 

 upper end of basal cell, and these wide apart, the transverse 

 veins to the costal membrane are wider apart and less oblique, 

 and the claval vein unites with the posterior claval margin before 

 middle, and is united a little before its apex with the claval suture 

 by a ti'ansverse vein.
