Male. Bright ochraceous, paler beneath. Palpi stout, pilose, 

 obliquely ascending, not rising higher than the vertex ; third joint 

 conical, very minute, not more than one-fourth of the length of the 

 second. Antennae very broadly pectinated; branches black. Ab- 

 domen and legs luteous. Hind wings luteous, extending beyond 

 the abdomen, with a brown marginal band, which is abbreviated

The dark border of the hind wings distinguishes this species
