The maxillary palps are quite small, the proboscis is comparatively short and is hidden. The labial palps have a long, densely scaled end member. The spur formula of the tibia is 0-2-4. An epiphysis is present. The veins R 2 to R 4 are petiolate on the forewings. M 1 arises in the middle of the cross artery between R 5 and M 2 , CuP is missing. On the rear wing, the M 1 vein is briefly cross-connected to the stem of SC + R 1 + RS. The frenulum consists of a single bristle in both sexes.
In the males, the valves are short and wide. They have a notched costal edge. The phallus is comparatively short and strong.
In the females, the ductus bursae is heavily sclerotized and has no colliculum . The ostium is specialized and unusually wide. The corpus bursae has no signa.
The caterpillars have no tracheal gills . The prothoracic plate is provided with a caudal thickening. The caterpillars produce transportable housings from plant components.
