This genus will include certain species distinguished from Parnara by having vein 5 

 of the fore wing straight and practically intermediate between vein 4 and vein 6. 



Antennae more than half as long as costa, reaching nearly to the end of the cell, club 

 gradual, apiculus about one fourth as long as the club. Palpi with the second joint 

 densely scaled, third joint short, nearly or quite concealed. Fore wing moderately 

 pointed, costa about one-fourth longer than the dorsum, termen moderately curved, a 

 trifle shorter than the dorsum ; vein 5 straight, practically intermediate between vein 4 

 and vein 6, base of cell 3 a little shorter than that of cell 4. Hind tibi^ with two 

 pairs of spurs. 



The linear sex-mark on the fore wing in the first three species is most easily observed 

 whilst the wing is wet with benzole. 



Males. 



1 (10). Fore wing with distinct hyaline spots. 



2 (7). Sex-mark on fore wing above linear, being merely a ridge forming 



the inner boundary of the hyaline spot in cell 2, and sometimes 

 continued across eel la. 



3 (6). Sex-mark reachiug from vein 1 o to vein 3.
