middle, in Loth sexes alike ; wing short and not nearly so produced apically as it is in 

 Telicota ; costa more arched, outer margin more convex, less oblique, shorter than the 

 hinder margin. Hindwinij, vein 7 emitted a little before the upper end of cell, the 

 u^jper margin of the cell not curving downwards at its end, as it does in Telicota ; 

 discocellulars faint, vein 5 absent, 3 emitted quite close to lower end of cell, 2 from 

 rather close to the base of 3 ; costa and outer margin evenly rounded, a slight excision 

 between veins 2 and lb. Antennae more than half the length of costa of forewing, 

 club moderate, not nearly so stout as it is in Telicota, with a short, pointed, terminal 

 crook ; palpi upturned, densely scaled, third joint short, slender, obtusely conical ; hind 

 tibiae naked and with two pairs of spurs, no secondary sexual characters ; the coloration 

 and pattern of the wings very similar in nearly all of the species.

Imago. — Male. Upjjerside. Foreicing with the cell orange-ochreous, with a 

 brown streak in it from the base to its middle, the space above it also ochreous, with 

 the veins and costal line brown, a brown rather broad band from the base, filling up 

 the space between the cell and the sub-median vein, bending upwards a little beyond 

 the middle, narrowing a little with irregular edges, throwing out a curved branch below 

 the costa which does not reach the outer marginal l)and at the apex, the outer marginal
