Type species.

Cicinnus accipiter Dognin, 1916.

Diagnosis.

The antemedial line forms a convex semicircle, whereas the postmedial line is incomplete and mostly limited to the proximal margin of the forewing. The ante- and postmedial lines are curved toward each other or are tangent below discal cell.
