Characters, — Face smooth. Palpus in both sexes short, second joint shortly rough-scaled, 
third joint quite small. Tongue present. Antenna short, in cf with short, subclavate pectinations almost 
to apex, in Q almost simple. Pectus and femora hairy. Hindleg rather stout, tibia in. 9f somewhat 
dilated, with small hair-pencil, in both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen scarcely crested. Frenulum fully 
developed. Forewing with costa strongly arched, apex pronounced ; termen somewhat oblique, excised 
below apex and between R! and R$, thence subcrenulate, cell about one-half, DC strongly incurved, 
SC! from cell, anastomosing at a point or very briefly with C and SC?, SC? normal, R! separate, R*? 
above middle, M! well separate; hindwing with termen strongly crenulate, excised between R! and R*, 
DC? strongly. incurved, C moderately approximated to cell near base, rather gradually diverging, 
SC? separate, rarely connate, R* from much above middle of DC, M! well separate. C genitalia : uncus 
bifurcate, with two lobes at the base, scobinated on the dorsal surface, gnathos wanting, harpe simple, 
vinculum square, emarginate at the base (Comibaena-form), penis pestillate, scobinated above, on the 
eichth tergite is a strong plate, with two large spatulate arms which fold round the ventral surface; perhaps 
related to the Terpua-group, but not closely ; Pierce thinks it has more connection with Comibaena ; there 
are no socil. 
Early stages unknown.
