The scutum is fairly well covered with short, more or less 

 recumbent, scales of considerable breadth, which cannot 

 be mistaken for " hair-like scales " or hairs by a novice. 

 Narrow scales are also usually present on at least the 

 dorsal surface of some of the abdominal segments, commonly 

 on the segments behind (and including) the 4th, sometimes 

 on the terminal segment and genital lobes only; but 

 abdominal scales may occasionally be altogether absent. 

 The wings, though they have a dark cast, are much speckled, 

 and there are always numerous spots on the costa ; wing-scales 

 fairly broad. The palpi are usually shaggy with scales, and 

 it is very common for the legs to be profusely spotted, 

 speckled, or finely barred with white, and for some of the 

 tarsal segments of the hind legs to be white. 



The species are found in the Ethiopian, Oriental, and 

 Australian regions.
