The outer margin of the forewing is rounded, with distinct spots and lines on dorsal surfaces, areole absent and the reniform spot is distinct. In the male genitalia, the uncus is stout with a hooked apex and the valva sclerotised, variable in shape, costa and saccular process slightly protruded, distal portion usually strongly acute, bifurcate or trifurcate; the vinculum is broad, “U” or “V” shaped; the aedeagus is typically curved at the mid-point, with the vesica usually bearing cornuti in variable number and shapes. In the female genitalia, the ductus bursae has a pair of longitudinal sclerites and varies in length; the corpus bursae is sac-shaped, longer than the ductus bursae and covered in scobination consisting of short spines of various shapes.
