Type, beata, Hew. 



Antennas : club moderate, gradually thickened and gradually 

 tapering to a point, bent into a crescent, and not abruptly angled. 

 Palpi porrect ; third joint minute, entirely concealed by scales of 

 second joint. Fore whig : outer margin longer than inner margin, 

 and more or less angled at vein 5 ; no costal fold on fore wing in 

 male; cell two-thirds length of costa ; upper discocellular short, 

 middle discocellular almost erect, lower more oblique and slightly 

 longer; veinlet in cell from just above vein 4; vein 3 close to end 

 of cell, quite five times as tar from base of wing as from end of cell : 

 vein 2 rather more than twice as far from end of cell as from base of 

 wing. Hind wing : no anal lobe, outer margin more or less angled at 

 vein 3 ; vein 7 more than twice as far from 8 as from 6 ; upper 

 discocellular short, erect, lower longer, outwardly concave; vein 5 

 present; veiulet in cell clearly traceable, the two branches meeting 

 the upper and lower discocellulars respectively ; vein 3 just before 

 end of cell ; vein 2 almost three times as far from base of wing as 

 from end of cell. Hind tibiae with only the terminal pair of spurs, 

 and in the male with a complete fringe of very long hairs.

Capila, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 78.5. Type, jayadeva, Moore. 



Antennae : club only slightly thicker than shaft, very gradually 

 thickening and as gradually tapering to a fine point, evenly curved 

 into a hook. Palpi : second joint clothed with longish hairs ; third 

 joint short, porrect. Fore wing : no costal fold in male ; cell three- 

 fifths of costa; outer margin longer than inner margin; vein 12 

 reaching costa opposite end of cell ; vein 1 1 nearly opposite vein 3 ; 

 vein 10 equidistant from [i and 11; end of cell broadly truncate ; 

 upper discocellular minute, middle and lower discocellulars almost 

 erect and in the same straight line, the lower the longer ; veinlet 

 beyond vein 1 ; vein 3 about twice as far from 2 as from end of 

 cell ; vein 2 slightly nearer to base of wing than to vein 3. Hind 

 wing evenly rounded ; vein 7 shortly before end of cell ; middle 

 discocellular almost erect, lower angled, the upper part inwardly 

 oblique, the lower part outwardly oblique ; vein 5 well developed ; 

 vein 3 just before end of cell ; vein 2 close to end of cell, more than 

 three times as far from base of wing as from end of cell. Hind 

 tibiae with two pairs of spurs, and with a tuft of hairs longer than 

 the tibia attached to it near its proximal end. 



Closely allied to Pisola.
