other holarctic, aethiopian or indo-malayan Lycaenid : the uncus is fused with the eighth tergite. 

 which forms a kind of hood or sheath above it. Subunci are lacking. Tegumen triangular, its 

 base bearing a pair of long finger-like processes which are not in any way attached to the anellus. 

 Vinculum broad. Valves as in Baliochila. To the dorsal surface of the anellus are fused two 

 long finger-like processes lying parallel to those of the tegumen. It seems that in Cnodontes the 

 " special processes " of Baliochila are divided to form two independent pairs, one attached to 

 the tegumen, the other to the anellus. Penis long. Uncus and valves pilose.
