16 mm - Head and antenna white. Palpus black, apex of the median 
segment slightly mixed with white, terminal segment aborted. Thorax 
white, apical third suffused with greyish, shoulder and a round spot on 
inner anterior angle of the tegula, black. Abdomen sordid white, venter 
greyish, sides suffused with black. Legs, anterior and median leg fuscous- 
blackish, basal half of the median tibia white above, tarsi white-ringed, 
posterior leg sordid white. Fore wing rather narrow, elongate-subovate 
broadest at 1 / 4 , costa curved anteriorly, tolerably straight posteriorly, 
apex subacute, termen moderately rounded, oblique. White, basal sixth 
of the costal edge black; a large antemedian dentoid-triangular black 
patch extended along the costa, from before */ 4 to 3 / 5 , reaching more than 
“la across the wing, with the anterior edge moderately straight, con- 
siderably oblique, somewhat irregular, the posterior edge excavated along 
its median half, forming a moderate rectangular projection on the costa, 
and a small triangular one in the fold, top of the patch somewhat truncate; 
a small black somewhat elongate spot in the apex, another rectangular 
and largei spot on the termen below the apex, the former crowned with 
some three black scales; two small suffused grey spots on the costa at 1 / 4 , 
and well before the apex, respectively, extending over the cilia; ill- 
defined grey irroration or suffusion along and before the lower half of the 
termen, fainter one above the tomus; a small black dot halfway between 
the base and the costal patch, slightly above the middle of the wing; a 
minute black dot on 1 / i ot the dorsum; a faint greyish mark in the disc just 
beyond the cell: circular, connected by a vertical bar with the tornus, 
with its upper and lower extremities, and its anterior edge, mixed with a
