curved ; cell slenderly closed, short, not half length of wing ; 

 veins 3 and 4 from just beyond lower apex of cell, 6 and 7 very 

 close at base. Antenna? about half length of fore wing • club 

 gradual, narrow, cylindrical ; palpi subporrect, broad in front ; 

 third joint stout ; eyes naked. Fore leg of $ slender ; tibia and 

 tarsus subequal, hairy ; of $ perfect, scaled.

 on hind wing from costa to vein 1 ; postdiscal and subterminal 

 similar lines, both diffusely spreading towards the costal margin 

 on the fore wing, the subterminal line highly sinuous on the hind
