followed by about nine rather dark grey dots, alternating with minute 
transverse striguiae, becoming paler and slightly larger posteriorly, four 
posterior dots slightly transversely elongate; a faint pale grey suffusion 
below middle of costa, traceable to upper angle of cell; an in vert- trapezoid 
discal spot of blackish irroration on cell before middle of wing, and a 
series of four blackish transverse striguiae beyond this above fold, 
becoming much broader and pale grey below fold, to dorsum before tornus; 
a faint grey suffusion connecting sixth and seventh costal dots below 
costa, indicating costal patch; a narrow blackish line along closing vein, 
followed by an ill-defined row of blackish scales from costal patch to 
tornus, indicating a vertical transverse strigula; a blackish Y-shaped 
mark before tornus from vein 4 to 7, with anterior arm broader, stalk 
almost obliterate, to termen above tornus ; a marginal grey streak in apex. 
Cilia white, a faint antemedian row of greyish dots. Hind wing and cilia 
glossy-white. 
Ostium narrow. Limen forming a very strong horizontal semiovate plate 
at each side, separated by a split in middle, central edge curved. Two 
curved narrow bristle-like spines in dorsal wall of ductus bursae below 
ostium. Ductus narrow, moderately long. Bursa copulatrix small. Signum, 
a small, strong, deeplv corrugated plate. Ovipositor lobe tortricoid.
