This obscurely coloured species is remarkable for its elongated fore wings (whicli are 

 rounded at the apex) and its oval hind wings. In the fore wings there is no cell formed 

 by the basal portion of the branches of the postcostal vein ; nor is there any transverse 

 connexion between the 3rd and 4th branches of the same vein. (See Plate XXVIII. 

 flg. 12.)
