Proboscis well developed, palpi short, porrect, abdomen hairy. Forewing long and very narrow. Veins 
as in the preceding, but the 1st subcostal anastomoses only with the costal, being separated again behind it. 
On the hindwing the 1st median anastomoses with the 3rd radial, the 2nd radial is absent, the subcostal petioled 
with the 1st radial.
