 joint with long projecting hair-scales below, second joint with moderately 

 projecting scales, third joint very small, not distinct, blackish. Antenna 

 not long, pectinate from base to about thirty-second joint, the branches

 the radials. 



Fore wing with SC 1 and SC 2 both free ; fovea well developed ; 

 whitish-brown, with black-brown irroration, the veins in part, a vague

 radials and at tornus) distally ; terminal line thick, black, slightly 

 interrupted at the veins ; fringe with dark chequering opposite the
