Fore wing : inner margin longer than outer margin, cell more than two-thirds tbe length of costa; male with a very prominent costal fold; discocellulars almost erect, subequal; vein 3 more than three times as far from base of wing as from end of cell; vein 2 less than three times as far from end of cell as from base of wing. Hind wing produced at anal angle, but with no conspicuous lobe ; vein 7 well before end of cell, less than twice as far from 8 as from 6 ; discocellulars slightly outwardly oblique; vein 3 before end of cell; vein 2 twice as far from 3 as 3 is from 4, and twice as far from base of wing as from 3. Hind tibise with a rather long fringe and two pairs of spurs.
