Eyes hairy. Forewing, vein 12 ends on the costa opposite the end of the cell, 

 11 emitted from about the middle of the cell, quite free from 12, 10 at three-fourths, 

 9 from the middle of 7, 6 from the upper end of discocellulars, 5 from the middle, 

 discocellulars upright, slightly concave, the lower the longer, vein 3 from a little before
