Antennae (missing). Palpi scarcely reaching the length of the head beyond it, short, straight, and devoid of 
clothing ; white, with some brownish scales. Head white, but sprinkled with brownish scales above. 
Thorax longitudinally streaked brown and white. Forewings dark brown, but appearing greyish brown 
through scattered sprinkling of white scales, with slender white lines following the principal veins; 
of these one immediately below the costa, from the base to the commencement of the fissure, is 
reduplicated by a second line below it from the base to a white costal patch beyond the middle of the 
apical lobe ; this patch extends from the costa to two-thirds of the width of the lobe, and is produced at 
its lower edge in a white line to the apex, separated by the dark ground-colour very narrowly from a 
slender white line along the posterior margin of the lobe; cilia brownish, interrupted by white scaling, 
broadly opposite to the costal patch, and again narrowly beyond it; the tornal lobe has a slender white 
line along each margin, the lower one produced to the base of the wing; cilia brownish, twice 
interrupted by white streaks. wp. al.16 mm. Hindwings somewhat bronzy brownish, especially in 
the cilia; a few whitish scales on the dorsal margin of the posterior lobe, about the middle and at its 
apex. Abdomen brownish, with white longitudinal streaks. Legs brown, with white lateral streaks.
