Dr. A. S. Corbet, of the British Museum, for the loan of the slide of the male genitalia

Head broad ; eyes large ; antennae long, with a well differentiated, elongate club. 



Wing shape. Fore wing with costa very convex at its base, then almost straight, outer 

 margin straight, slightly scalloped at the ends of the veins, inner margin straight, with a fringe 

 of long black hairs below from near the base to the inner angle ; hind wing almost circular, 

 not produced at the anal angle, two short, fine tails at the ends of veins 2 and ib respectively. 

 No secondary o* sexual characters. 



Wing venation (Text-fig. 298). Fore wing with 11 veins. 



Male genitalia (Text-fig. 134). Uncus composed of two lobes with rounded apices which 

 are slightly folded over inwards, one on either side of the deep indentation of the posterior 

 margin of the tegumen ; subunci with massive bases, bent in an acute angle, the free portion 

 tapering regularly to the apex, the lower edge bearing at the bend a short, pointed apophysis ; 

 tegumen large ; vinculum narrow, with a poorly marked saccus ; lower fultura with strong 

 valves oblong, deeply notched at the apices ; penis elongate, with a vesica bearing many 

 cornuti which give it a shagreened appearance ; uncus bears many long hairs, a few short hairs 

 on the apices of the valves.
