 Wrimota, Mabille, Ann. Soc, Ent. Bolg. xxi. p. 34 {1878). 



Anterior wings moderately long, the inner marpri longer than the outer, costal margin very slightly 

 Binuate, inner margin distinctly sinuate. Costal nervwe terminating on costa nearly opposite end of cell ; 

 fifth subcostal nervule emitted at about end of rill: disro-ivllular nervuh.s moderately oblique, the upper 

 and lower subeipial in length ; second median nervule with its base more than twice as far apart from that 

 of lower as from that of upper median nervule. Posterior wings about as broad as long, the costal margin 

 obliquely convex, the outer margin irregularly rounded and slightly sinuate towards anal angle. Subcostal 

 nervules bifurcating at about half the distance before end of cell ; second median nervule emitted at rather 

 more than twice the distance from lower than from upper median uervule, which starts from end of cell. 

 Body long, robust and pilose; palpi large, broad and considerably compressed, the terminal joint very 

 short ; antenna; slender, the apex moderately thickened and curved, not strongly hooked.
