Imago. — Head small, ratlier rouglily hirsute in front ; eyes very 
finely hairy ; ^alpi rather long, slender, — second joint much com- 
pressed laterally, longer in ^ than in J, densely clothed with long hair- 
like scales, — third joint long, slender, acuminate, closely scaled, rising 
above level of vertex ; antennae of moderate length, slender, with a 
rather abruptly formed club of moderate length, flattened and hollowed 
superiorly, pointed at extremity. 
Thorax decidedly robust, particularly in J ; its downy clothing 
dense, especially on breast. Fore-wings with apex rather acute ; 
nervures thick, prominent ; costal nervure ending about middle of 
costa ; subcostal nervure four-branched, — first and second nervules 
emitted separately before extremity of discoidal cell, — third very short, 
emitted about midway between end of cell and apex, — fourth terminat- 
ing at apex ; upper radial nervule united to subcostal nervure at 
extremity of cell, lower one to disco-cellular nervules about midway 
between upper radial and third median nervules. Hind-wings with 
costa moderately arched, but very convex at base ; slightly produced 
in anal-angular portion ; costal nervure terminating at apex ; subcostal 
nervure branched considerably before middle ; on hind-margin three 
very fine slender tufts or pencils of hair, situated at extremities, 
respectively, of second and first median nervules and submedian 
nervure. Legs rather long and stout, with the femora very hairy 
beneath ; fore-legs of $ rather large, — tibia with a pair of very fine 
terminal spurs, — tarsus closely spinulose beneath, and with a slightly 
curved terminal claw. Middle and hind legs with terminal spurs of 
tibiae long. 
Pupa. — Broad, moderately thick ; narrowed to anal extremity, 
which is recurved and flattened inferiorly ; under side much flattened, 
and slightly hollowed in the middle ; head rather blunted, sub- 
quadrate ; sides of thorax slightly sub-angulated ; basal portion of 
abdomen broader than thorax. Attached by tail and silken girth.

This genus is nearly allied to the robuster forms of Zycama, but
