Club of antennae ovoid, very much thickened, bluntly pointed, 

 usually bent into a hook. Fore wing: no costal fold in male but 

 costa much thickened ; cell rather more than two-thirds length of 

 costa; vein 10 nearer to 11 than to 9 ; veins 6 and 7 from upper 

 angle of cell ; vein 8 from just before it ; upper discocellular minute, 

 middle one about half as long again as lower ; middle and lower 

 discocellulars inwardly oblique, the middle slightly more oblique 

 than the lower and rather better developed ; vein 5 nearer to 

 4 thau to 6 ; vein 3 about half as far again from 2 as from end of 

 cell. Hind wing : cell not reaching to the middle of the wing ; 

 vein 7 well before upper end of cell, about three times as far from 

 hase as from end of cell, rather more remote from base than 2 ; 

 discocellulars almost erect, slightly concave outwardly ; vein 5 

 wanting; vein 3 from just hefore end of cell; vein 2 almost 

 equidistant from base of wing and from end of cell. Hind wing: 

 outer margin even or slightly crenulated, produced more or less into 

 an anal lobe, which in some species is well marked though small. 

 Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, the upper pair minute.

t In Amenis vein 5 of the hind wing is sometimes well developed, but the genus 

 can be readily separated from Arclnris by the hind tibire being provided with two 

 pairs of spurs, the terminal pair only being present in Ardari^,
