 scales, slightly serrate, forms a curve below the costa and 

 gives off a tooth on the fold. A terminal row of black dots. 

 Fringes silvery gray. Hind wings pale fuscous.

Expanse of wings, 20 mm. Head and thorax dark brown, 

 intermingled with gray scales ; palpi very hairy, dark brown, 

 with some gray hairs above. Fore wings dark brown, with 

 a whitish stripe from the middle of the base out to an oblique 

 dark-brown cross stripe on the basal third ; this stripe fol- 

 lowed by a broad median white shade, extending nearly 

 to the broad white subterminal line ; this line commences 

 on the costa a little within the apex, and, curving inward, 

 forms an outward angle near vein 5, thence runs parallel 

 with the outer margin to the fold, where it curves out and 

 terminates near the anal angle. Terminal line dark brown. 

 Lower two-thirds of the terminal space overlaid more or less 

 with white scales. The dark portions of the wing streaked 

 longitudinally with light and dark brown. Fringes dark 

 fuscous. Hind wings dark fuscous ; fringes paler.
