This genus is given by "Watson as closely allied to the last ; and, apparently, 

 separated for the most part on account of the secondary male character, which he 

 describes as a radiating tuft of hairs attached to the fore coxae. This radiating tuft 

 of hairs we have not been able to see, but in ransonnettii, Feld., and syrichtkus, Feld., 

 the fore coxae in the male are heavily scaled, as in Odontoptilum, and bear on the 

 inner side a tuft of long straight hairs, which only differs from that found in Odonto- 

 ptilum in that the hairs are black and more than twice as long as the coxa. The 

 genus is further distinguished from its allies by the possession of two small hyaline 

 spots near the middle of cell 1 a in the fore wing in addition to the usual discal and 

 subapical series, and the term en of the hind wing is more or less produced at the apex 

 of veins 2, 8, and 6, besides the main angulations at veins 4 and 7. 



The diagnostic characters of the species here dealt with are expressed in the following 

 table : — 



No terminal row of pale spots on the fore wing above. 



No hyaline spot in the cell of the fore wing near the middle. Right clasp 



elongate, bifid at the apex ; left one simple ransonnettii, Feld. 



With a hyaline spot in the cell of the fore wing near the middle. 



Hind wing below with a little white scaling near the base, and three series 

 of short dark brown transverse lines — two in the basal series, two in 

 the median, and five in the postmedian. Right clasp simple, left 



one dissimilar, suddenly narrowed at the apex saraya, Dohy. 



Underside " frosted with white throughout, except very narrowly along 



the outer margins of both wings " alida, de Nicev. 



A complete terminal row of pale spots on the fore wing above syrichtkus, Feld.
