slightly curved, subascending, with broad compact tuft of dense 
scales on apical half, and some long fine scattered projecting bristles 
beneath and laterally elsewhere, terminal joint £ of second, tri¬ 
angularly expanded with dense scales towards apex, obtuse. 
Maxillary palpi rather short, porrect, loosely scaled. Hind tibiae

base. Hindwings somewhat under 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 
2 from |, 3 from angle, 3-5 parallel, 6 and 7 out of 5, 6 to apex.
