The type in the British Museum collection is a female, much larger 

 and browner than the male. Together with three other unnamed 

 species in the same collection, this species lias the exterior margin of 

 the fore wings strongly elbowed in the middle, its upper half being 

 nearly vertical ; the markings of the fore v^ing also are peculiar. 

 Lederer in his treatise on the Pyralidina, W. e. M. 1863, pp. 451, 

 452, makes no reference to this difference ; but his descriptions of 

 P.fragmentalis and ganyeticalis and of Hydrocampa tortalis indicate 

 members of this group.
