Eyes naked. Differs from Cainena {= Pratapa) in having the inner margin of 

 the forewing in the male straight, not outwardly bowed, and lacking the tuft of

 in possessing, in the male, a glandular patch of scales on the upperside of the 

 hindwing at the base of the sub-costal nervules extending anteriorly into the 

 costal interspace, posteriorly into the discoidal cell ; outer tail one-third shorter
