Labial palpi moderately long, recurved, very slender, smooth, 
terminal joint shorter than second, pointed. Maxillary palpi im¬ 
perceptible. Posterior tibiae loosely haired, inner middle-spur very 
long. Ovipositor broad, laterally compressed, semioval. Forewings 
2 and 5 parallel, 3 and 4 absent (?), 6 approximated to 7 at base, 
7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 9-11 equidistant, parallel, 11 from 
middle. Hind wings linear-lanceolate, cilia 4, frenulum ( $ ) of
