<? 16 — 22.5 mm. Head and thorax whitish, tinged and partially slightly 
suffused with pale ferruginous-brownish. Palpus whitish, tinged pale pink- 
brownish, median segment mixed above with dark ferruginous-brown; 
terminal segment rather long, slightly suffused with pale brownish. 
Abdomen whitish, tinged pale ochreous. Legs pale ochreous, anterior tibia 
and tarsus banded with grey above, median knee dark grey. Fore wing 
elongate-subtri angular, dilated, rather broad, scales raised along veins. 
Whitish, tinged very pale ochreous -brownish, markings dark ferruginous- 
brown. A gradually outwards-convex broad dark ferruginous -brown trans- 
verse band, from beyond base of costa to about 1 j i of dorsum, slightly 
narrowed below; base of wing stronger suffused with pale ochreous, 
slightly mixed with fulvous scales; a pair of small clots on costa beyond 
preceding band; central fascia indicated by three ccpiidistant small dots 
on costa from before 2 / 6 to beyond middle, by an irregularly sinuate and 
interrupted line from about below first dot to dorsum beyond middle, by 
another such line, continuous, from below third dot obliquely to beyond 
cell, gradually considerably curved around closing vein to vein 3, and by 
a vertical narrow streak from 3 / 4 of dorsum, connected along base of vein 3 
wfith the last mentioned line; on dorsum these lines tinged blackish-brown 
and connected by a small blackish -brown suffusion; some vertical trans- 
verse strigulation in middle of disc, indicating a straight line which connects 
top of second transverse line with first one above its base; a faint pale 
greyish-fuscous suffusion beyond cell, filling the above mentioned curve 
of transverse fine ; a narrow vertical line from dorsum before tornus almost 
touching preceding suffusion; two slightly curved, outwardly convex, 
tolerably parallel lines from beyond s / 4 of costa to 2 / 3 of tornus; a somewhat 
sinuate submarginal line from costa before apex to vein 4, connected 
there with the last mentioned parallel fines. Cilia creamy-whitish, dotted 
with dark brown (much damaged). Hind wing and cilia whitish touched 
with pale ochreous, the former semipellucent.
