 a velvety black dash running into apex ; a black festooned marginal line ; fringe 

 green at base, with a coppery middle line and coppery tips, mottled with black 

 fan-shaped marks beyond the vein-ends.

Forewings ; costa straight, but arched at base and curved before apex ; apex 

 rectangular ; hindmargin slightly oblique above, strongly curved below middle.

 first straight and shortly curved into inner margin, with no anal angle actually 

 indicated. 



Palpi short, hairy ; antennae of S bipectinated ; tongue and frenulum present; 

 hind-tibiae with terminal spurs only. 



Neuration : forewings, cell one-half of wing ; discocellular vertical ; first 

 median nervule at three-fourths, second close before third ; 5 from rather above 

 middle of discocellular ; 6 stalked with 7, 8, 9 ; 10 anastomosing with 11 and again 

 with 8, 9, forming a double areole : hindwings of S, costal separate from but 

 connected with subcostal by bar ; 0, 7 stalked ; cell only one-third of wing ;
