Male. Cinereous-hoary, minutely speckled with brown or 

 black. Palpi obliquely ascending ; third joint about half the 

 length of the second. Abdomen and hind wings paler, with a slight 

 testaceous tinge. Fore wings with a slight glaucous tinge, acutely 

 rectangular at the tips ; a dififuse testaceous discal mark between 

 the base and the interior line, which is blackish, undulating and very

This species and M, notescens and M, refracta hardly belong 

 to the genus Mods, and may be separated as soon as their generic 

 character can be ascertained by means of additional specimens.
