 ochreous-whitish. Antennae whitish; ciliations in male 2|. 

 Abdomen whitish ; bases of segments on dorsum, except the

 near base to tornus ; a similar median line from A to termen ;

Allied to E. ac.utella. If the genus Eomystis is retained

 the pecten is represented by a few scales only, or may be 

 absent.
