Intermediate between PoUiimriella and CoUileUa ; distinguished 

 especially from the former by the truncate anterior wings and dis- 

 tinct dark hinder-marginal line in the cilia; besides the basal fascia 

 is generally very indistinct, and the central fascia is placed rather 

 beyond, than in the middle ; from Collitella it may be distinguished 

 by the anterior wings being broader, not so white, and with fewer

Expansion of the wings 4 lines. Head white ; anterior wings
