end of cell; l b furcate at base. Hindwings broader than the fore- 

 wings; costa straight; dorsum and termen evenly rounded; apex 

 rather pointed ; 7 veins; 8 free; 6 and 7 parallel; 3 and 4 coincident;

Closely related to the European genus Carcina Hiibner, but further 

 developed and differing in the narrow wings and the coincident veins
