 from near the base of vein 3, upper discocellular very short middle and lower in an 

 almost erect, straight line, the lower the shorter ; vein 3 emitted about one-si.xth from

 end ; vein 2 emitted about one-third from the base ; costa arched at rhe base, then 

 evenly and gently curved to the apex, apex blunt, somewhat truncate, wing long, 

 outer margin convex, shorter than the hinder margin. Ilindwing, vein 7 emitted about

 and palpi as in Erionota; hind tibise slightly fringed and with tw(j pairs of spurs. 

 Male with a linear glandular streak above the middle of vein 1 of the forewing, and a 

 double streak on each side of the basal half of vein 2 ; on the hindwing the lower 

 margin of the cell between veins 2 and 3 and the basal halves of those veins are much 

 swollen ; the underside of the forewing has a patch of erect hairs extending from 

 vein 1 to the hinder margin, and the ujiperside of the hindwing is thickly clothed with 

 long hairs from its base concealing the swollen veins ; abdomen with di>rsal tufts
