margin and a posterior spot fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous; 

 first two segments and a series of four minute median dots pale 

 brownish. Legs fuscous with pale annulations; posterior pair 

 wholly pale. Forewings triangular, costa nearly straight except 

 close to base and apex, apex round-pointed, termen bowed, 

 oblique, crenulate ; pale brownish ; costa and termen rather 

 broadly fuscous; antemedian and postmedian lines fuscous, 

 dentate, extremely fine and scarcely traceable; discal dot dark 

 fuscous, consisting of a conspicuous tuft of raised scales; a series 

 of minute white dots representing subterminal line ; a fuscous 

 terminal line interrupted on veins by pale brownish dots; cilia 

 fuscous. Hindwings with termen scarcely rounded, markedly 

 dentate; fuscous; indications of a darker, straight postmedian 

 line, beyond which is a zone of brownish irroration; subterminal 

 and terminal lines and cilia as forewings. 



The discal scale-tuft recalls Mesoptila Meyr., which, however, 

 has the areole simple.
