This species has the same neuration as Clemens' genus Amydria, 

 all the veins in both fore and hind wings being separate : the apical 

 joint of the palpi is not tufted as in Pseudanophor a, Wlsm., nor 

 recurred as in Anaphora, Clem. ; it is, however, more erect than in 

 effrenatella, Clem., the type of Amydria, and appears to form a 

 connecting-link between this genus and Pseudanaphora.
