Antennce (\.\xiy \v\niQ. Palpi 'dud head dnli white. Thorax 

 white. Fore wings white, at about one-fouith from the base 

 an ontwardly cuived nut-brown fascia, sometimes angulated 

 above the fold at its outer edge, passes from costa to dorsum 

 (or in some specimens is separated from the dorsum by a 

 short space), this fascia is less wide than the space inter- 

 vening between it and the base; about the middle of the 

 costa a rather wider fascia of the same colour reaches the 

 dorsum before the tornus, its inner margin slightly concave, 

 its outer margin sometimes angulated outward about the 

 middle ; a costal patch before the apex is slightly broken on 

 the costa, its lower margin not connected with a narrow sub- 

 terminal shade beneath it ; all these markings are clearly 

 defined and are speckled with black along their edges, the 

 intermediate pale spaces being also sometimes very slightly 

 speckled with brown on the costa and dorsum ; cilia white. 

 Exp. al. 16-18 mm. Hind ivings pale brownish grey ; cilia 

 rather paler, with a shade-line running through them near 

 their base. Abdomen and legs pale brownish grey.
