6-7 mm. Head and thorax brassy. Face and palpi silvery- 
white. Antenne grey. Abdomen ochreous-whitish, suffused 
posteriorly with fuscous, beneath white. Legs white; tarsal 
joints pale-fuscous at apices on external surface ; middle tibiz 
slightly thickened at apices with fuscous scales. Forewings pale 
ochreous-fuscous, with irregular fuscous suffusion, several metallic 
areas, and a variable number of whitish-ochreous spots sometimes 
forming interrupted fasciz; spots minute quadrangular, most 
numerous on costa, the remainder on inner-margin, they form in- 
terrupted slender transverse fasciz at one-fourth and one-third ; 
basal fourth of wing occupied by a brilliant metallic patch with 
reddish and violet lustre; a similar triangular patch on inner- 
margin beyond middle, not quite reaching costa; a small oval 
spot with long axis longitudinal in disc at seven-eighths, nearer 
costa than anal angle, showing brilliant violet-blue reflections ; 
apex occupied by a rather large black spot; cilia brilliantly 
metallic on hindmargin, ochreous-whitish at anal angle, thence
