cj 18 — 19 mm. Head greyish-fuscous, tinged ochreous. Palpus dark 
fuscous, terminal segment greyish. Thorax greyish densely mixed with 
dark fuscous and brown, suffused with dark brown anteriorly. Abdomen 
pale whitish-ochreous. Legs greyish, posterior leg white, anterior tibia 
and tarsus blackish-fuscous, pale ringed, median tibia and tarsus banded 
with blackish-fuscous. Fore wing elongate-triangular, costa moderately 
curved anteriorly, straight in middle, slightly curved before apex, apex 
subacute, terrnen slightly concave in middle, oblique. Pale whitish- 
ochreous tinged greyish, densely irrorated with dark fuscous, markings 
dark fuscous and brown. Costa dotted with dark fuscous; a moderate 
triangular spot below base of costa dark brown, with top to below fold, 
dark fuscous; a transverse band at 1 / 4 , preceded and followed by not 
irrorated areas of ground colour ; it is formed by a triangular dark brown 
spot on costa, strongly narrowed towards upper edge of cell, and by a 
conspicuous subtrapezoidal blackish-fuscous spot in cell, with anterior 
edge concave, posterior indent on fold; the latter spot is dilated below, 
reaching to vein lb, and followed by a moderate pale ochreous tuft of 
raised scales in fold, which is connected above fold with a dark brown 
suffusion occupying posterior half of cell; this suffusion is connected above 
with a semiovate moderate spot of dark fuscous irroration on middle of 
costa, and below with an ill-defined transverse patch of dark fuscous 
retination occupying middle third of wing; this retination is mixed below 
cell and in fold with blackish-fuscous; dorsum below vein lb retinate with 
dark bronze-fuscous; an inwardly oblique wedge-shaped patch somewhat 
beyond 3 / 4 of costa, connected by dark greyish-fuscous suffusion with end 
of cell, and bearing a whitish-grey marginal spot on costa ; a rounded spot 
above tornus, narrowly connected with a large blotch before termen; this 
blotch below reaching halfway towards cell, and connected by dark grey 
retination with termen and apex, sometimes confluent with tills retination. 
Cilia sordid whitish, tips slightly mixed with fuscous, an antemedian row 
of blackish blotches becoming larger towards tornus, two blackish bars 
before, one below apex. Hind wing pale greyish-white, posterior half 
transversely but faintly strigulated with grey; cilia whitish, tinged pale 
ochreous. 
Male genitalia very similar to those of the preceding species (lithodes). 
Hook of uncus shorter, dilated, short-bifid terminally. Socius, a row of 
bristles. Gnathos with median projections slightly sinuate, top with a 
row of thorns. Valva shorter, more truncate, sacculus ending in an oblique 
ovate pad, covered with bristles. Aedoeagus with a long curved terminal 
projection. Cornutus, a strong thorn. (Slide No. 707 D, holotype).
