Antenne dark brown, annulated with pale yellow ; basal joint 
greyish-brown, clothed with long hairs. Head clothed with grey- 
ish-brown hairs. Palpi black. Mesothorax brown. Anterior 
wings greyish, subhyaline, thickly sprinkled with short black 
clavate hairs; a tuft of in-turned black hairs at the base of the 
costal margin. Posterior wings similar in colour, but less closely 
sprinkled with clavate hairs; fringes of all the wings grey. Legs 
greyish-ochreous. Abdomen above fuscous, the margins of the 
segments ochreous; beneath wholly ochreous. In the male the 
upper margin of the last abdominal segment is produced in the 
middle into a triangular lobe, on each side of which are two 
straight and pointed app. intermed.; app. inf. long, directed 
upwards, dilated in the middle, furnished with a fringe of long 
straight hairs directed downwards ; at the base of the app. inf. on 
each side there is a slender sheath, clubbed at the tip and directed 
strongly upwards; from beneath may be seen two very short 
inferior sheaths. 
The female is generally paler coloured than the male; the 
wings greyish-ochreous, with a faint appearance of two darker 
spots beyond the middle; the hairs simple; the apex of the abdo- 
men obtuse, furnished with a nearly quadrate deeply-cleft plate, 
which may be considered as the superior valves united. 
Expanse of fore-wings 73—9 lines.
