g genitalia. Uncus weakly emarginate medially at apex; dorsal surface with weakly 

 developed longitudinal carina medially. Apex of valve digitate; pre-apical part of valve 

 flat or weakly concave on inner surface. Aedeagus with short apical spine; vesica with three 

 lobes, the largest scobinate on one side but not at apex, the smallest without scobinations, 

 the remaining lobe entirely scobinate. 



$. Not known. 



Of the two males mentioned by Rothschild, only one can be identified as such. 

 This had been labelled 'Type' by Rothschild and is selected as lectotype. 



Distinguished from rutila by the yellowish white, oblique band on the forewing, 

 the nearly unicolorous hindwing and the uniformly brown front of the head. The 

 male genitalia differ in details of the valves, uncus and aedeagus.
