palpi in c subascending, second joint expanded with rough scales towards apexa bove and beneath, 
terminal joint very short, slender, pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae and tarsi rough- 
scaled above, with strong median tuft on tibiae. Forewings with 15 simple, 2 from 3/4, 3 from near 
angle, 4 and 5 stalked from angle, 8 and 9 out of 7, 8 to costa, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings r, 
elongate-trapezoidal, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 obsolete, 6 and 7 stalked, 6 to termen; in gf an expan- 
sible hairpencil from base in submedian groove.

a from 4/5, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex or hardly below, r1 from middle. Hindwings
