 Palpi : third joint minute, obtusely conical. Fore wing : inner mar- 

 gin longer than outer margin ; cell less than two-thirds the length of 

 costa ; middle discocellular slightly longer than lower one ; vein ;i 

 slightly nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 immediately before end of 

 cell ; vein 2 close to end of cell, twice as far from base of wing as 

 from end of cell. Hind wing not at all elongated, outer margin 

 even ; costa strongly arched at base ; vein 7 shortly before end of 

 cell ; discocellulars faint, vein .5 not traceable ; vein 3 immediately 

 before end of cell ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to
