 very long and obliquely porrect, the third joint minute. Hind tibiaj with two pairs of spurs.

Female olive-green. Fore wing with a basal triangular patch on the costa, continued as 

 a black line to the inner margin ; black antemedial, medial, and postmedial dentate lines, the

 close to the base in a much more exaggerated way than in Calliiga ; a deep groove along the
