d 1 23 mm. Head whitish, touched with pale ochreous. Palpus long, 
slender, whitish mixed with light fuscous; median segment with an 
oblique median transverse dark fuscous streak laterally; terminal segment 
tinged pale ochreous. Thorax whitish, tinged pale brownish, tegula dotted 
with pale ochreous-brownish. Abdomen white. Legs whitish, iniuscated, 
anterior tibia and tarsus suffused with blackish-fuscous above, pale-ringed. 
Fore wing smooth, tufts not distinct; rather broad, dilated, elongate- 
triangular, costa considerably curved anteriorly, less so posteriorly; apex 
subobtuse, termen slightly sinuate, little oblique. Whitish tinged very 
pale fuscous, sparsely irrorated with somewhat darker pale fuscous scales, 
markings blackish-fuscous. Costa with about twelve small dots, and 
suffused blackish-grey anteriorly, blackish-fuscous posteriorly; base of 
costa also with a small greyish suffusion ; a row of four round black dots 
along vein 12 from beyond base to 1 / 3 of wing; a few scattered smaller dots 
in disc beyond base; an irregular spot of fuscous- blackish transverse 
strigulation on dorsum beyond middle, reaching cell, finely irrorated with 
light fuscous-greyish, slightly extended along dorsum anteriorly; upper 
anterior angle of this spot almost connected with an interrupted blackish 
transverse and moderately oblique line with last dot on vein 12; two 
costal dots before middle, connected by greyish suffusion which forms a 
small wedge-shaped transverse mark to cell, and is continued above and 
beyond cell by a curved series of blackish points to dorsum before tornus, 
followed on lower half of wing by a second curved series of similar points 
parallel to preceding; four dots along posterior of costa, somewhat 
larger, triangular, suffused; first of these dots continued by a suffused 
fuscous-greyish line, dotted with blackish, running obliquely to termination 
of vein 3, outwardly angulate on middle of vein 7, inwardly angulate on 
vein 5; this line followed by a faint fuscous suffusion, a black dot on each 
veins 5, 6 and 7 beyond this suffusion ; a marginal row of black dots along 
termen, from tornus to below apex. Cilia whitish-fuscous, an interrupted 
antemedian darker fuscous shade. Hind wing whitish, a marginal row of 
faint blackish dots along termen and costa, and some greyish marbling 
along costa only; cilia pale whitish-fuscous.
