 also visible from above in the 5 . Antennae moderate, club 

 distinct, gradually formed; shaft unicolorous in the S, 

 sparingly spotted with pale colour beneath towards the base in

 wards ; apical angle distinct. Hind wing produced into a broad 

 short lobe at the anal angle. Fore-wing subcostal nervure three- 

 branched, emitting its first and second branches before the end 

 of the cell, and its third much nearer to the apex than to the 

 end of the cell. Discocellular nervules joining the median 

 at its terminal fork, in both wings. Antennae grey, long, three- 

 fourths the length of the fore-wing costa ; club gradually formed 

 and of moderate thickness. Palpi projecting considerably 

 beyond the forehead, but much longer in the 2 than in the J ,
