However, the basal dash of the forewing is short, narrow sometimes reduced or absent; the tornal streak of the forewing is linear, located primarily between the medial and postmedial lines but often continuing between the antemedial and medial lines with a broken, sometimes reduced black line; and the basal dash and tornal streak are sometimes fused. In the male genitalia, the clawlike extension of the serrated ventral edge of costa is sclerotized, the clavus asymmetrical, and there is an additional sclerotized, rod-like section between the vinculum and tegumen. The 4–6 strong, long, spike-like cornuti on the outer edge of peniculus are noteworthy of Acronictinae .
