The kindness of Mr. Frederick Moore, who has very recently received a fine series of these 

 beautiful things from Sikkim, has enabled me to make the summary of this genus much 

 more complete than it would otherwise have been. I regret, however, very much that these 

 materials did not arrive in time to allow me to illustrate them with figures. I have pleasure 

 in naming a new species after a friend and an ardent naturalist.

The single species, the only representative of this genus at present known, has 

 characters which place it widely apart from the African group with which it has hitherto 

 been associated. It is very nearly allied to the genus Deodorise, from which it differs 

 in being without the tail and lobe of the posterior wing. 



Head large. Eyes large, densely clothed with hair. Palpi smooth, compressed, projecting 

 outwards (not embracing the head), the terminal joint rather long. Antennae long, distinctly 

 clubbed, the club long. Body robust, covered with long hair. Subcostal nervure with three 

 branches, the third branch having its base at a distance from the apex.
