Diagnosis. — This species is distinguished within the genus by the 

 stalked veins M2+3 coupled with the presence of two (subequal) 

 cornuti in the vesica of the male. 



Description. — Frons conical, orange red; labial palpi with basal 

 segments light reddish brown to white, second and third segments 

 coral red on outer sides, light brown ventrally; maxillary palpi small, 

 inconspicuous; antennae with scape coral red anteriorly and on inner 

 side, white posteriorly and on outer side, shaft brown, red toward 

 base, laminate in male; lateral regions of occiput, patagia, and tegulae 

 orange red, vertex white behind antennae. 



Forewings brownish red; Sc, Rj, and Eg white traced; Eg, E4, and Mi 

 black traced; A2 white traced; M3 and cubitals traced mth varying 

 mixtures of brown, pink, and white; Ai orange traced; cell variable, 

 often with more brown or orange than other areas; 11 veins; E2 free 

 from cell; M2+3 stalked. Hindwings light brown, darker in apical area; 

 7 veins; M3 and Cui stalked. 



Male genitalia with gnathos bearing short apical digitate projection, 

 somethnes very short or absent. Juxta V-shaped. Valvae with costa 

 bearing blunt tooth at apex, sparsely setose; sacculus minutely pubes- 

 cent. Aedeagus with vesica bearing pair of subequal cornuti, smaller 

 one serrate and more heavily sclerotized. 



Female genitalia with ovipositor tip moderately setose, caudal 

 margin finely setose. Posterior apophyses with base somewhat curved, 

 spear-shaped; anterior very gradually thickened toward base.
