The chiefpeculiarity of this moth consists in its linear and much-elon-gated secondaries, which are in fact mere balancers, similarto the tails which terminate the wings of some genera ofLycsenidae. In describing his new genus M. Wesmael gave no accountof the neuration of the wings; but this omission was subse-quently remedied by Prof. Westwood, who, in 1876, examinedthe type in the Brussels Museum, and made a careful drawingof the venation, which he published in the Transactionsof the Entomological Society for 1877, pi. x. From hisdescription, as well as from that of M. Wesmael, the secon-daries appear to h
