than twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing in tlie male 

 of the type species, rather farther removed from base in the female 

 of the type aud in both sexes of the other species. Hind wing : outer 

 margin excised between veins 3 and 1 b ; vein 7 well before end of 

 cell, only slightly nearer to 6 than to 8 ; discocellulars faint ; vein 5 

 wanting ; vein 3 close to end of aW, about twice as far from 2 as 

 from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of 

 wing; lower margin of cell slightly angled at vein 2, more con- 

 spicuously at vein 3. In the male of the type species there are two 

 linear streaks of modified scales on the upperside of the fore wing 

 at the origin of vein 2, running for a short distance along vein 2 and 

 the lower margin of the cell respectively.
