Imago. — Male. Forewing, triangular, broad; costa arcliecl at base, straight in the 

 middle, deflected posteriorly at the apex ; apex acute ; outer margin strongly convex ; 

 inner angle rather acute ; inner margin much bowed posteriorly in the middle, to the 

 edge of this bowed portion are attached two pencils of hairs, the interior one is narrow, 

 long, deep black, directed obliquely outwardly, under and forwards, and extends a 

 little beyond the sub-median fold, the exterior one is broad, short, and pale ochraceous ; 

 costal nervule ending opposite to the apex of the discoidal cell ; first sub-costal nervule 

 arising nearer to the apex of the cell than to the base of the wing, well separated from 

 the costal nervule ; second sub-costal arising twice as far from the upper discocellular 

 as from the first sub-costal nervule ; third sub-coatal short, arising much nearer to the 

 apex of the wing than to the apex of the cell ; sub-costal nervure ending at the apex 

 of the wing, upper discocellular nervule (this is actually the base of the upper discoidal 

 nervule) stout, rather long, strongly outwardly oblique ; middle discocellular very 

 slightly concave, upright ; lower discocellular straight, in the same straight line with 

 and rather longer than the middle discocellular ; second median nervule arising well 

 before the lower end of the cell ; first median arising nearer the lower end of the 

 cell than to the base of the wing, arising about twice as far from the second as 

 the second does from the third ; sub-median nervule slightly sinuous. Hindu:ing, 

 costa greatly arched at base, then to apex, forming a very obtuse angle, the two sides 

 forming this angle of very nearly equal length, each side almost straight ; apex well 

 rounded, outer margin at first slightly concave, produced from the apex of the second 

 median nervule to the anal lobe ; tails two, short, the anterior one from the termination 

 of the first median nervule rather longer than the posterior one from the termination 

 of the sub-median nervule ; anal lobe rather small ; abdominal margin excavated 

 anterior to the anal lobe, then greatly convex to the base of the wing ; costal nervule 

 short, much arched at base, arched again in the middle ; a small round deep black patch 

 of androconia on the upper side in the middle of the sub-costal interspace well separated 

 from the veins on either side of it, placed in a line with the base of the upper 

 discocellular nervule ; first sub-costal nervule arched throughout its length, ending at 

 the apex of the wing, arising well before the apex of the cell ; upper discocellular 

 nervule nearly straight, strongly outwardly oblique, lower discocellular also straight, 

 not so strongly outwardly oblique as the upper discocellular, of the same length ;
