Identification
Note tuft on thorax. Heinrich (1926) gives a general description: A distinct North American genus. It genitalia characters closest to Esia; but in pattern and general habits more like Eumarozia. The three species have the same color scheme; old rose with darker purplish pattern markings, some faintly silvery scaling and more or less ocherous dusting.
