Palpi extended nearly three times the length of the head beyond it ; the first joint short, 

 second joint somewhat flattened and enlarged towards the base; the apical joint about half the 

 length of the second, slender ; all thickly clothed with long, straight, hair-like scales : proboscis, 

 none : antennae of the male pectinated, of the female simple. Fore wings with the costa 

 arched towards the base, straight beyond ; the apical margin oblique ; dorsal margin slightly 

 bulged near the base : without a costal fold in the male : branches 7 and 8 of the fore wings 

 from a common stem. Hind wings with the margin below the apex slightly indented ; veins 

 3 and 4 from the same point without a pedicle ; vein 5 separate, not bent over towards 

 them near the base ; veins 6 and 7 arising from a short pedicle. Tibise hairy. Female with

Palpi three times the length of the head, profusely clothed with straight grey and black 

 hair-Kke scales : antennae grey and black, pectinated m. the male. Fore wings nearly three 

 times as long as wide — costa nearly straight; apical margin oblique — ochreous, profusely 

 speckled with groups of black scales, and with some scattered steel-blue scales about the 

 middle. On the costa are several short alternate black and yellowish- white spots, tending 

 obliquely inwards, not outwards, as in the costal streaks of most of the Tortricina : two irre- 

 gular oblique shining silvery fasciae, one near the base and one at the middle of the wing, 

 become less distinct as they recede from the costa ; the outer one is angulated in crossing the 

 cell : cilia greyish white, tipped with ochreous. Hind wings and the basal half of their cilia 

 purplish fuscous ; the points of the cilia yellowish grey. Abdomen black ; hind tarsi and anal 

 tuft yellowish grey. Female with the abdomen larger and much longer than that of the male ; 

 antennae simple : fore wings much darker than in the male, the black scales preponderating 

 over the ochreous, and the silvery fasciae almost obsolete ; the cilia also darker. Legs black, 

 the spurs of the tarsi whitish, and the tarsi spotted with whitish. 5 (J , 2 $ . Expanse of 

 wings ^ 16 millims., ? 20 millims.
