Hind wing: outer margin excised between veins 3 and 1 b; vein 7 well before end of cell, only slightly nearer to 6 than to 8 ; discocellulars faint; vein 5 wanting ; vein 3 close to end of cell, about twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing; lower margin of cell slightly angled at vein 2, more conspicuously at vein 3. In the male of the type species there are two linear streaks of modified scales on the upperside of the fore wing at the origin of vein 2, running for a short distance along vein 2 and the lower margin of the cell respectively. olenus, Hiibn 1, *ozias,~H.evr 2.
