A very poor example. 



Two specimens in the Zeller collection, labelled as Mr.

Antennae of male moderately ciliated ; labial palpi fairly 

 long (about twice the length of the head), porrected, roughly 

 scaled, third joint quite concealed. 



Fore wings with 11 veins, 8 and 9 from a stalk rising out

Hind wings with 7 veins — 3 from angle of cell, 4 widely 

 separated from near middle of cell, 5 and 6 from a stalk, 7 

 from cell just before middle.
