Body slender. Proboscis very short. Palpi porrect, hardly 

 longer than the breadth of the head ; third joint lanceolate, slightly 

 inclined downward, and thus forming a very obtuse angle with the 

 second, of which it is about half the length. Antennae rather stout, 

 pubescent in the male, bare in the female. Abdomen hardly 

 extending beyond the hind wings. Legs rather slender, almost 

 bare; spurs long. Wings moderately broad. Fore wings slightly 

 rounded at the tips ; exterior border hardly oblique, broadly fringed ; 

 interior border slightly excavated on the exterior half, broadly 

 fringed on the interior half.
