Antennae pale ochreous. Palpi whitish ochreous, the median joint stained with ferruginous externally, the 
terminal with a small rust-brown ring at its base and a wider one before its apex. Head brownish 
ferruginous ; face whitish ochreous.. Thoras brownish ferruginous, dark fuscous in the middle. ore- 
wings whitish ochreous, with blackish costal spots, and a strong ferruginous brown shade extending over 
the whole dorsal half and touching the upper edge of the cell on its outer third ; there is a short black 
line at the extreme base, with a longer one below it, the latter extending straight along the fold to half 
the wing-length ; the costal spots consist of one, small, at one-fifth from the base, two larger patches 
on either side of the middle of the costa, which is slightly depressed, these are separated and partly 
limited beneath by a patch of snow-white scales, mixed with others corresponding to the costal patches ; 
before the apex are two or three small dark brown costal spots, less conspicuous than those which 
precede them; cilia ochreous, tinged with brownish ferruginous; the apex and termen are almost 
evenly rounded, the costa raised along its basal third. Hap. al. 20 mm. Hindwings and cilia brownish

Antennae pale cream-ochreous. Palpi (broken). Head and Thorax pale cream-ochreous. Forewings pale 
cream-ochreous, sparsely dusted with dark fuscous scales, distributed for the most part singly, but in a 
small group at the end of the cell, and again in the fold at about half the wing-length, also in about 
five small terminal spots on the extreme margin; cilia pale cream-ochreous. Zxp.al.26 mm. Hind-

The species differs from resurgens Wlsm. in its larger size and somewhat more 
elongate forewings, as well as in the distribution of the fuscous sprinkling, which 
extends towards the base and indicates a series of marginal spots, wanting in that 
species.
