recurved. The palpi are short, with the first and second joints 

 densely clothed with hairs, the third joint minute and almost 

 concealed by the vestiture of the second joint. The tibio3 are 

 clothed with long hairs, and those of the hind legs are armed with

double terminal spurs. The anterior wings are subtriaugular, with 

 the inner and outer margins subequal and straight. The costa is 

 evenly rounded, the apex is acute. The cell of the primaries is a 

 little less than two-thirds the length of the costa, with the upper 

 angle acute and the lower angle obtuse. Vein 12 reaches the costa 

 before the end of the cell ; vein 5 is slightly nearer vein 4 than 

 vein 6 ; veins 6, 7, and 8 rise from about the upper angle of the 

 cell ; vein 3 is twice as far from vein 2 as from vein 4 ; vein 2 is 

 equidistant between the base and vein 3. The secondaries have the 

 costa relatively straight. The outer margin is evenly rounded to the 

 extremity of vein 1 6, at which the wing is produced somewhat 

 sharply. The inner margin is gently rounded and somewhat 

 excavated before the base. The cell is less than half the distance 

 from the base to the outer margin. Vein 5 is distinct. Vein 2 

 arises beyond the middle of the lower margin of the cell, vein 3 a 

 little before its end. Vein 7 arises from well before the end of 

 the cell, and vein 3 twice as far from vein 7 as from the base.
