The forewing vein R4 and R5 are stalked for 1/2 length of R4; the R3 and R4+5 are stalked about 1/4 length of R3; the hindwing veins Rs and M1 are stalked for the half length of M1, from the upper part of the discal cell. In the male genitalia, the uncus is slender and long or short; the valva is narrow, with a saccular process; and the aedeagus vesica bears cornuti. In the female genitalia, the corpus bursae is scobinate, with long spines ( Holloway 2001 ). Distribution.
