 Forewings rather elongate-triangular, costa nearly straight 

 except towards apex, apex tolerably acute, termen bowed, 

 oblique, somewhat wavy; whitish, slightly ochreous-tinged, 

 with dark fuscous lines and irroration ; a fuscous basal 

 patch containing darker lines; a fuscous median band, sometimes 

 paler in centre, containing several darker lines; its anterior edge 

 from i costa to -§ dorsum, slightly outwardly curved; posterior 

 edge from i costa to |- dorsum, with a moderate, fairly acute 

 median projection, followed by a fine whitish line; space before 

 and after median band sometimes pale with dark dots on veins, 

 sometimes infuscated; a fine white, dentate subterminal line; a 

 blackish terminal line; cilia whitish mixed with fuscous, with a

This species belongs to my Section i., and is apparently similar 

 to X. xerodes, but readily distinguished by the shorter antennal 

 pectinations.
