long, recurved, second joint considerably thickened with appressed scales, 
strongly compressed, terminal joint rather shorter than second, moderate, 
acute. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough hairs 
above. Forewings with i b furcate, 2 from near angle, 4 and 5 approximated 
at base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, ii from middle. Hindwings i, trapezoidal, 
apex obtuse, termen faintly sinuate, cilia f ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel,

narrowly blackish, terminated by an oblique trapsverse black spot from middle 
of dorsum, followed by a spot of whitish suffusion ; an oblique ochreous-white 
wedge-shaped streak from costa at f , finely attenuated and terminating in 
a semicircular ochreous-white tornal spot, these edged anteriorly with brown
