Head moderately broad, hairy. 



Eyes oval, not very prominent, hairy. 



Maxilla; rather slender, scarcely longer than the thorax. 



Labial Palpi porrect, ascending, the third joint directed forwards ; scaly, the scales short, appressed, 

 except in front of the first joint, and at the back of the second joint. First joint stout, sub- 

 cylindric, somewhat compressed, curved, more than one third the length of the second joint, 

 truncate at the apex; second joint subcylindric, curved, truncate at the apex; third joint 

 elongate-conic, slenderer than the second joint, and nearly half its length. 



Antennas about two thirds the length of the body, rather slender, terminating in a short, rather 

 abrupt, obtuse club, not grooved below. 

 Thorax oval, stout, hairy. 



Anterior Wings trigonate. Anterior margin slightly rounded. Outer margin rounded, two thirds 

 the length of the anterior. Inner margin longer than the outer, slightly emarginate. Costal 

 nervure stout, terminating at the middle of the anterior margin. Subcostal nervure slender ; 

 its first nervule arising beyond the end of the cell ; its second opposite to the termination of the 

 costal nervure ; its third almost opposite to the termination of its first nervule, and terminating 

 before the apex ; its fourth arising considerably nearer to the origin of the third than to the apex, 

 immediately below which it terminates. Upper and middle disco-cellular ncrvules both very 

 short, the latter longer than the former, mostly curved inwards, sometimes nearly straight. 

 Cell open. Third median nervule considerably curved. 



Posterior Wings obovate ; the shoulder rather prominent ; the middle of the anterior margin

 simple, curved. Discoidal nervure separating from the second subcostal nervule soon after its 

 origin. Cell open. Third median nervule considerably curved.
