Head brownish above and in front, yellowish white 

 between the antennae ; palpi and antennae very 

 pale straw-colour above, brownish beneath. 



Fore wings pale straw-colour, faintly irrorated with 

 brownish scales along the middle from below the 

 cell at the base to a point above the base of the 

 fissure, as also along the basal half of the costa. 

 There is a slight, inconspicuous, oblique, brownish 

 streak on the costa, pointing inwards towards a 

 brown spot exactly at the base of the fissure, not

 greyish brown. 



Hind wings pale greyish brown. 



Abdomen, legs, and spurs pale straw-colour.
