running obliquely to upper 1 / i of disc at 2 / 3 , gradually strongly curved 
downward, thence curved around end of cell and discal tuft, running to 
lower angle of cell, slightly thickened above cell; anterior angle of this 
mark with a less distinct straight branch along more than third fourth 
of fold, in male dissolved in a few dark brown dots; a moderate semi- 
circular costal patch, smaller than median costal, greyish brown, marked 
on costa with an oehreous dot, costa between markings with small 
blackish-brown dots; a slender, well-defined preterminal streak from 
dorsum just before tornus, slightly outwardly concave below, almost 
straight above and more oblique than termen, to before termination of 
vein 7 ; a small rounded spot of brownish irroration in middle of upper 
half of cell; a row of fine marginal brownish dots along dorsum. Cilia 
whitish, apical half mixed with grey, a basal row of jet-black dots and 
blackish bars opposite costal markings. Hind wing glossy whitish, slightly 
smoky with faint greyish marbling; cilia whitish, an antemedian row of 
blackish marks. 
Tegumen and uncus strong, much like those in preceding species, top 
of uncus more dilated, less truncate. Socius smaller. Cnathos with arms 
angularly dilated in middle, narrow posteriorly, connected with each 
other by a membraneous transverse band. Transtilla strong, peculiarly 
built: an ovate rising plate at each side, connected below by a narrow 
transverse rod, which has a long acute appendix at each extremity. Valva 
broad, ovate, costa strongly haired, subapical discal prominence larger, 
sacculus short, with a curved acute point. Aedoeagus as in preceding. 
Cornuti, two rows of short teeth and two strong spikes. (Slide No. 733 D, 
liolotype). 
Limen, a strong transverse band dilated laterally, upper edge with a 
convex cap in middle, which is deeply incised ventrally, lower edge of 
limen excavate in middle. Ostium with two small strong knobs ventrally. 
Colliculum rather long, slender, tubular. Ductus bursae narrow. Bursa 
copulatrix erect-ovoid, simple. Eighth tergite forming a semiovate swollen 
collar. Ovipositor with slender lobes, a smooth rounded lateral plate below 
each lobe. (Slide No. 735 D, allotype).
