Species of this genus were described by Mr. Walker under the three families Ura- 

 pterygidae, Ennomidae, and Boarmiidse; the genus is, however, nearly allied to llciiwrophila, 

 and should therefore be placed with the Amphidasidie.

Primaries above sericeous greyish white, the base and a very irregular subbasal band 

 testaceous, the latter bounded by a whitish stripe partly edged externally with black ; an 

 oval transverse black annulus at the end of the cell; an arched dentate-sinuate central 

 testaceous line, its lower extremity bounding a large rufous cuneiform patch on the inner 

 margin, this patch is bounded externally by a sharply defined sigmoidal submarginal line and 

 is crossed by whitish stme and an oblique, slightly sinuated, partly black-edged, white-elbowed 

 stripe, which runs across the disk to the costa; external area becoming pure white from about 

 the middle to the external angle; two or three black marginal dots towards apex : secondaries 

 greyish brown, striated with grey ; base white; an abbreviated brown stripe from abdominal 

 margin before the middle; a small cuneiform annular black marking at end of cell; a broad 

 angulated pale olivaceous belt across the disk, its inner edge bounded by a scries of black 

 dots on the veins, its outer edge by the external area, which is white excepting at apex ; one 

 or two nearly marginal black spots: head grey-brown ; thorax cream-coloured, ochraceous in 

 front ; abdomen grey, with pale ochreous anal tuft. Under surface of primaries white and 

 grey, with the pattern of the upper surface ill-defined : secondaries with the basal two thirds 

 grey, irrorated with blackish, the markings of the upper surface indicated in blacki.-h : 

 external third white. Body below ochreous, legs greyish. Expanse of wings 78 millim.
