Allied to Parnara, Moore. The thorax and head are very broad, 

 and the general appearance of the body is more robust than in 

 Parnara. The antennae are more than half as long as the costa 

 of the primaries, slender, terminating in a stout club, with a 

 strongly recurved hoojt; at its end. The palpi are broad, flattened 

 horizontally, appressed, heavily clothed with long scales upon the 

 first and second joints, and with the third joint (which is minute, 

 acute, and situated on the outer edge of the horizontally \^'idened 

 second joint) naked. The wings are relatively somewhat narrower 

 than in the genus Parnara, with the outer mai'gin of the primaries 

 nearly straight, or, as in P. picariini, Holl., slightly excavated 

 above the outer angle. The secondaries are more or less lobed at 

 the anal angle in the male. The neuration of the wings does not 

 materially differ from that in Parnara, so far as I have been able 

 to determine with the limited material at my disposal.
