Similar in venation to the genus Baoris. Antennre also similar, the forewing 

 comparatively longer and narrower, the hinder margin longer than the outer margin, 

 which is more oblique, making the apical portion of the wing more produced than it is 

 in Baoris ; no secondary sexual characters, there being no trace of the tuft of long 

 hairs on the upperside of the hindwing, so conspicuous a character in the genus 

 Baoris.
