cell, discocellulars faint, vein 5 not traceable, 3 from close to end of cell, 



lambrix. almost touching it. 2 from about one- third before the end. Antennae more 



than half the length of the costa of forewing, club moderate, gradual, tip curved, 



pointed ; palpi with the second joint den.sely clothed, third joint long, somewhat
