 palpi porrect ; differs from Lutogonia Schaus in the venation 

 of hind wings, the latter having vein 2 from the middle of the

 of the cell before the middle ; the vein curves, giving rise to 4, 

 then a second curve and 5 at the normal cell angle.

 of vein 2 ; a white discal spot with a black point before it ; 

 outer line black, of separated cusps on the veins; a broad faint 

 blackish shade beyond ; a terminal row of black dots. Hind 

 wing with down turned brown hair above cell; disk pale, apex 

 and tornus blackish, median margin brown; terminal black 

 dots ; fringe reddish brown. Below fore wing with rough yellow 

 scales over cell and below ; hind wing with similar scales along 

 vein 1. Expanse, 27 mm.
