Imago. — Male. Wings short, broad. Forewing triangular ; costa much arched 

 from near the base, apex obtuse ; exterior margin oblique, slightly uneven, obtusely

 obtusely angulated at end of lower median, posterior angle rounded ; posterior 

 margin nearly straight ; costal vein extending to middle of margin ; first and second 

 subcostal branches emitted close together a little before end of the cell, third branch
