This
tribe is characterised by the features of its only included genus. The ocellar
mark of the forewing is probably homoplastic relative to those in the Erebini
and Hypopyrini, having a different construction. Features of the male and female
abdomen are generally more as in the preceding groups but share no obvious
synapomorphies with any of them, though several indicate membership of the core
catocalines.
