hairs above. Forewings with 2 from near angle, curved, 2-5 approximated at base. 6 and 8 approxi- 
mated at base, 6 and 8 approximated, 7 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, termen 
slightly sinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 approximated, transverse vein very oblique, 
6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks, — Also apparently a derivative of Ercrasima; but the curious rough head is unique 
in the family.
