Diagnosis. <J. (Plate 1, fig. 273). Outer margin of both wings moderately (holotype) or 

 weakly produced between M 3 and Cn xa . Subterminal markings usually present in both wings 

 between M 3 and Cw la , and often present, though less well marked, in the fore wing between 

 M 2 and M 3 , and Cu la and Cu^, and in the hind wing between M 2 and M 3 . As in strandi the 

 postmedial fascia, when present on the hind wing, is usually lighter in colour than the ground- 

 colour of the wing. 



o* genitalia (Text-figs. 1 7, 1 8) : rounded uncus lobes each with long, acuminate, medial 

 process arising from near base ; valves small ; eighth sternum with slender, asymmetric 

 posterior processes, slightly dilated apodemes and broad medial plate.
