one just before the middle, another small one within the costal margin

Head and palpi sordid yellowish-gray ; antennae pale fuscous ; thorax 
brown above, with a brown patch on each side under the base of the 
wings ; basal three-fourths of the anterior wings sordid white, yellowish, 
and brown scales intermixed, the apical fourth fulvous and separated by a 
distinct line, which is convex towards the apex. An obscure cloudy spot 
near the base of the wing; at about the basal third are two dark brown 
patches of raised scales, one of which is on the disc, the other within the 
dorsal margin; about the apical third are two similar tufts similarly

Grayish fuscous, overlaid with golden yellow. Anterior wings with a 
narrow brown border along both margins ; a tuft of silver gray raised 
scales on the disc at about the basal third, and another opposite within 
the dorsal margin ; a row of small oblique silvery streaks along the costal 
margin; just before the ciliae is a narrow fascia of raised silver gray 
scales, behind which, near the apex, are two indistinct narrow white 
fasciae not raised, the first of which is especially indistinct. In the brown 
dorso-apical margin are about eight small white spots. Ciliae gray. There 
is a brown patch on each side of the thorax just underneath the base of 
the wings ; thorax brown; vertex brownish-red ; antennae pale fuscous ; 
palpi and face white, the second palpal joint white without. Adar ex.

In the general color of the wings and the costal markings this species 
seems somewhat to resemble H/omosetia costisignella Clem. ‘The genus 
also resembles Æomosetia as described by Clemens, in the palpi and 
neuration, but differs somewhat in these respects, and HYomosetia has no 
raised tufts.
