 margin evenly convex, inner margin slightly sinuous, costal uervure ending opposite 

 the apex of the discoidal cell, first sub-costal nervule (vein 11) originating a little

 as from the base of the upper discoidal ; middle discocellular nervule originating from 

 upper discoidal just beyond its origin, inwardly oblic^ue, lower discocellular in the same 

 straight line and the same length as the middle discocellular, both slightly concave, 

 second medial nervule originating some distance before the lower end of the discoidal 

 cell. Hindwing very broad, almost as broad as the forewing, costa nearly straight, 

 arched at base, apex truncated, outer margin slightly convex, almost straight, 

 abdominal margin straight, costal nervure rather short, first sub- costal nervule
