Forewbig, vein 12 reaches costa a little before upper end of cell ; cell less than 

 two-thirds the length of costa ; upper discocellular very minute, middle and lower 

 inwardly oblique in almost a straight line, the middle discocellular twice as long as 

 the lower, consequently vein 5 which arises at their junction as usual has its base 

 rather near the lower end of discocellulars and curves upwards, reaching the outer 

 margin midway between the ends of veins 6 and 4 ; vein 3 emitted about one-sixth 

 l)efore the lower end of the cell, 2 from the middle; costa gently and evenly arched, 

 outer half of the wing narrowly angular, the outer margin being oblique, convex 

 below the blunt apex, then nearly straight to the hinder angle, longer in the male 

 than the hinder margin ; shorter in the female. liindwivg, vein 7 emitted well before 

 upper end of cell, cell aljout half the breadth of the wing, discocellulars (outwardly 

 oblique) and vein 5 faint ; vein 3 emitted near the lower end of cell, the base of vein 2 

 about as near 3 as the base of that vein is from the end of the cell ; outer margin 

 evenly rounded down to the very slight anal lobe. Autennge long, about two-thirds 

 the length of costa of forewing, club long, gradually robust, with a long, acuminate, 

 terminal, even curve ; palpi upturned appressed in front of the face, very densely 

 scaled, third joint short, l)lunt, almost entirely concealed ; hind tibiae fringed and with
