 and thick, as is also the abdomen. The legs are of 

 nearly equal length, and very woolly, the spurs of 

 the hind legs being almost concealed. The tarsi are 

 long and thick and very woolly, the tarsal unguis 

 and large flat pulvilli being concealed above by 

 curved black hairs. When at rest, the wings are 

 deflexed at the sides of the body, like the roof of a 

 house. The colour of the entire moth is buff, the 

 wings having a silky gloss, and the palpi have a 

 pale ring near the apex ; the back of the abdomen 

 is rather more fulvous, and marked with short black 

 bands.
