joint nearly as long as second, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. 
Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with r6 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 
stalked, 7 to termen, 9 from near 7, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, narrowed 
posteriorly, apex pointed, termen sinuate, cilia r 1/2; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 closely 
approximated towards base. 
Remarks. — Of doubtful immediate affinity ; the sporadic appearance of an antennal pecten is 
again a curious feature.
