Anterior Wings elongate ; the anterior margin but little curved, the apex rounded or truncated ; 

 the outer margin slightly emarginate or sinuate-dentate ; the inner sinuate. Costal nervure stout, 

 extending considerably beyond the middle of the wing. Subcostal nervure slender at its origin, 

 where it lies close to the costal, five-branched ; its first nervule thrown otF at or before the end 

 of the cell. Cell extending but little beyond the middle of the wing. Third median nervule 

 curving very considerably upAvards, and approaching near to the second discoidal nervule, then 

 bent downwards and outwards. Internal nervure wanting. 



Posterior Wings subtriangular ; the anterior and outer margins nearly of equal length, much 

 rounded ; the latter more or less sinuate-dentate ; the inner much shorter, nearly straight 

 except at the base, where it slightly embraces the abdomen. Precostal nervule simple, curved

tibia of moderate length. The tarsi very spiny both above and below ; the last two joints
