 Forewing narrow, costa arched, exterior margin short, slightly oblique, posterior 

 margin long, straight ; first subcostal emitted at about one-third and second at one- 

 sixth before end of the cell, third trifid ; cell extending two-thirds the wing ; disco- 

 cellular bent outward near upper end, slightly concave below, radial from the angle, 

 a slender discoidal veinlet emitted within the cell ; two upper medians on a foot-stalk 

 one-third beyond end of the cell, second at a short distance, and first (or lower) at 

 about one-third before the end ; an apparently slender upper submedian and a lower 

 submedian : hindwing triangularly oval | costal and subcostal veins united to half 

 length of the cell, two subcostal branches on a foot-stalk half beyond the cell ; cell 

 extending two-thirds the wing; discocellular bent outward below the middle, the 

 radial from the angle ; a slender discoidal veinlet emitted within the cell ; two upper 

 medians on a foot-stalk half beyond the cell, the next (or lower) at one-fifth before the 

 end ; two submedians and an internal vein, the upper submedian very slender. Body 

 extending beyond hindwings in male, smooth, tufted in female ; palpi smooth, porrect, 

 slender ; legs long ; antenna slender, minutely bipectinated in male. {8. tricolor.)
