long (inner terminal spur apparently broken). Fore wings with 

 veins 3, 4, 5 closely approximated at base, 7 and 8 out of 9, 10 and 

 11 very oblique. Hind wings as broad as fore wings ; veins 3, 4, 5 

 closely approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing 

 with 8 to near middle. 



This is another eccentric genus, in essential structure 

 approaching nearest to Diplopseustis, but extremely dis- 

 similar in appearance.
