A genus which is allied to the Heliothid genera by the armature of the tibiae 

 and the embossed clypeus. The silky white color recalls Groteila and Euleu- 

 eyptera, and the insect may be placed before these genera. The eyes are naked, 

 the vestiture is scaly. Thorax and abdomen untufted. The ocelli are present. 

 The palpi are slender and short, closely scaled. The maxillae are moderate. 

 Antennae simple in the male, feebly setose beneath, discolorous, with dark 

 brown scales above. The cut of the wings is somewhat as in Heliophila, to 

 which there is an apparent resemblance. But the moth on the whole simu- 

 lates more strongly the Arctiid genus Euchaetes, so that at first sight one might 

 take it for one of the white species of that Bombycid genus. The fore tibiae 

 are armed with three inner and two outer terminal, and longer claws, before 

 the first of which latter there is also a short spine. The middle and hind 

 tibiae are sparsely spinose.
