Antennae : club very gradually thickened and tapering to a fine 

 point, bent at about a right angle ; terminal portion very long, about 

 twice as long as remainder of club, and about one-fourth of the 

 whole antenna. Palpi : third joint entirely concealed by the scales of 

 the second joint. Fore wing : inner margin longer than outer 

 margin, cell more than two-thirds the length of costa; male with a 

 very prominent costal fold ; discocellulars almost erect, subequal ; 

 vein 3 more than three times as far from base of wing as from end 

 of cell ; vein 2 less than three times as far from end of cell as from 

 base of wiug. Hind wing produced at anal angle, but with no con- 

 spicuous lobe ; vein 7 well before end of cell, less than twice as far 

 from 8 as from 6 ; discocellulars slightly outwardly oblique ; vein 3 

 before end of cell ; vein 2 twice as far from 3 as 3 is from 4, and 

 twice as far from base of wing as from 3. Hind tibiae with a rather 

 long fringe and two pairs of spurs. The costa of the hind wing in 

 the male of the type species is black with bluish reflections, a 

 character which is probably sexual.
