whitish, palpi whitish, apex of terminal joint fuscous. Antennae 

 fuscous, basal-fourth annulated with white. Abdomen dark-grey, 

 beneath snow-white. Legs white, tarsi with blackish apical rings. 

 Fore wings moderate, in female more elongate, costa gently 

 arched, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; ashy-grey- 

 whitish ; costal edge snow-white throughout ; a faint short 

 oblique blackish streak from costa at one-fourth, and another 

 similar before middle; an indistinct longitudinal streak from

 similar, this species is readily known by its white costal edge. 

 The markings of the female are more pronounced.
