Wings with a strong grey suffusion; stigma oval, brown ; 
narrow and indistinct pale brown seams along the cord and 
outer end of cell Ist M@,; veins brown. Venation: Sc long, 
Sc, ending opposite from three-fourths to four-fifths the 
length of the long arcuated Rs, Sc, about its own length 
from the tip of Sc,; 7 at the tip of R,; basal deflection of 
R,,5 about twice the length of rm ; cell 1st M, rectangularly 
pentagonal, about as long as M, beyond it, the outer end 
broader than the inner end ; ; m about equal to r-m; basal 
deflection of Cu, just beyond the fork of M; Cu, and the 
deflection of Cu, subequal or the latter a little longer. 
Abdomen dark brown, the pleurites of the hypopygium 
conspicuously light yellow ; appendages of hypopygium dark 
brown. Hypopygium unusually complicated for a member’ 
of this genus; the longest pleural appendage is slender, 
straight, on the outer face with a row of about thirteen 
cylindrical, chitinized pegs that produce a serrate appearance; 
these pegs are interspersed with long sete and slender seti- 
gerous tubercles ; asecond appendage is long, clavate, witha 
few long bristles, and with a conspicuous flattened lobe near 
its base; a third appendage is densely covered with long 
bristles that curve at the tips; besides these appendages 
there are other smaller cushions and blades, producing a 
structure that is very hard to describe.
