te rminatin g nearly opposite end of cell, Becond emitted about midway between first, and third, the 

 third emitted at end of cell, third and fourth bifurcating beyond middle of third; second and third 

 median nervules about one-third farther apart than first and second, the first emitted at end of 

 cell ; subraedian nervure nearly straight and widely separated from the lower median nervule. Posterior 

 wings elongately and irregularly subovate, the costal margin obliquely convex, the outer margin 

 oblique and produced into a long tail-like appendage near apex of submedian nervure; alaloinmal 

 margin concave Jy excavated near anal angle. Costal nervure arched and extending to apex ; subcostal 

 nervules bifurcating at about one-third before end of cell ; first and second median nervules emitted 

 close together near end of cell. Body moderately small ; palpi very long, second joint projecting fully 

 two-third* in front of head, third joint about half the length of second ; antenna 1 short, gradually 

 thickened to apex, 



This small genus is found in Continental India, the adjacent islands, and throughout the 

 Indo-Malayan Region, Two species are here understood as found in this fauna*

Male. Wings above fulvous. Anterior wings with the costal area — very narrowly for about half its 

 length—and the apex and outer margin broadly clark fuscous ; base pale fuscous. Posterior wings with the 

 base pale fuscous, the outer margin narrowly dark fuscous, the abdominal margin and lobular anal angle 

 pale fuscous ; tail-like appendage more or less streaked with pale fuscous, its apes greyish-whits. Wings 

 beneath bright ochraceous ; both wings with a more or less distinct discal dark transverse fascia and a 

 submarginal series of small spots (these fasciae and spots are extremely variable in intensity of hue) ; 

 lobular anal angle pale fuscous ; tail-like appendage as above. Body above fuscous, beneath with legs 

 more or less greyish. 



Female. Eesembling the male, but with the fuscous margins of the anterior wings rather broader, and 

 having the costal margin more or less broadly palu fuscous to base, 

 Exp. wings, 3 and ? , 82 to 35 millim.
