Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olive-brown. Foreiclng somewhat more produced 

 than is usual in the genus, spots ochreous-white, all more or less small ; three minute 

 sub-apical spots in an outwardly oblique curve, a discal, nearly straight, inwardly 

 oblique series of four spots, the first below the lowest of the sub-apical spots and of 

 about the same size, the next a little larger in the second median interspace, the third 

 the largest of all in the first median interspace, its lower outer end produced, slightly 

 curved and somewhat pointed, the fourth against the middle of the sub-median vein, 

 about the size of the second ; in the type specimen there appear to be no spots within 

 the end of the cell, but in most examples there is a minute dot at the upper end, and 

 in others there are two, well separated, one above the other. Hindwing without 

 markings. Cilia cinereous, brownish at its base. Underside paler and duller in colour.
