Allied to Guestia, Meyr., but differs by the very short palpi, 

 shape of hindwings and longer cilia.

 and thorax fuscous, patagia reddish-fuscous. Legs fuscous, 

 posterior pair grey-whitish, all tibiae and tarsi obscurely 

 ringed with whitish. Abdomen greyish-ochreous, anal tuft 

 ochreous. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa hardly
