Forewing rather broad, strongly dilated to 2/3, costa straight 

 anteriorly, angulate at 2/3, posteriorly gently curved, apex obtuse- 

 rectangular, termen almost straight and vertical. Whitish ochreous, 

 marbled with pale vinaceous, with tawny, and, slightly, with fuscous. 

 Costa more clearly vinaceous-tinged, markings dark brown; a mod- 

 erate inverted-triangular spot at 1/6 of costa, preceded by two, fol- 

 lowed by one, small round dots, these dark markings alternating with 

 minute short strigulae; a larger triangular patch on costa before 

 middle; one very small and three large, well defined, obliquely tri- 

 angular spots along costa beyond preceding patch, separated from 

 each other by pairs of slender whitish strigulae: a broad, but faint 

 pale leaden-grey streak, running below these spots, then curving down- 

 wards to termen above middle; basal patch indicated by a large 

 triangle of loose dark fuscous-grey irroration, from middle of base 

 of wing, extending along dorsum to 1/3, not reaching above vein 12, 

 top pointing at median costal spot; outer edge of patch rather well 

 defined, almost vertical, somewhat irregularly excised below middle, 

 upper angle obtuse; triangular spot on dorsum just before tornus, 

 sometimes well defined, fuscous grey to dark brown, with slightly 

 serrate edges; transverse fascia dissolved into irregular marbling, 

 below costal patch forming three ill-defined finger-like projections 

 of posterior edge; some suffusion just before closing vein and a black 

 dot on each upper and lower angle of cell, which are more or less 

 connected with this suffusion; a pale bar along closing vein; very 

 irregular dark brown subapical streak, from below first large costal 

 dot, limiting leaden streak from below, outer edge gradually curved, 

 lower diversely serrate; posterior end of this mark to middle of termen; 

 a curved projection above this, turning basad along vein 6 and dilated 

 into a spot; a row of triangular dots along middle of dorsum; a blackish 

 oval apical spot. Cilia dark brown, with tawny basal half, cilia in 

 tornus tawny. 



Hindwing dark fuscous grey, with a bronze gloss. Cilia dull grey; 

 base slightly extended so as to form a slight lobe, base of dorsal 

 edge thickened, naked, colored light brown. Cilia on posterior half 

 of dorsum, whitish. 



Male genitalia: Uncus large, subquadrate, top prominent, finely 

 denticulate; socii, two pairs, inner longer, with numerous bristles on 

 top, outer with a few long bristles only. CucuUus bristles in two groups 

 (as described for the genus), outer formed of slender stiff scalelike 

 bristles, inner very dense, of forked flat spines. One very large spike 

 at the base of cucullus; sacculus with a large, extended patch of short, 

 obtuse bristles. Cornuti, a sheaf of very long spines, sinuate beyond 

 base.
