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

 11 emitted from the middle of the cell, 10 from a short distance further on, its base 

 being rather nearer the base of 11 than the end of the cell ; discocellulars both concave, 

 slightly inwardly oblique, vein 3 emitted some little distance before the lower end of 

 the cell, the contour of the wing much as in Biduanda, a glandular patch of scales on 

 either side of the sub-median vein near the base on the underside of the wing in the 

 male, the hinder margin being strongly bowed outwards below it, in the female the 

 hinder margin is straight, the sexual character being of course absent. Hindwing with 

 the costal margin abnormally produced in the male and arched to cover the glandular 

 patch on the hinder margin of the forewing, in the female the costal margin is but 

 slightly arched and vein 8 is much longer than it is in the male, extending to nearly 

 the apex of the wing, in the male it ends on the costa at about two-thirds of its length, 

 and there is a round glandular patch of scales near the costa, the abdominal margin is 

 very strongly excavated above the anal angle ; three tails much as in Biduanda.
