on vein 6, both edged with greyish suffusion which is continued as a 
vertical grey blotch to below eighth costal dot; a minute greyish streak 
before apex; grey marks often very pale ochreous or darker, and inter- 
connected by grey retination extending all over the wing. Cilia white, an 
antemedian row of grey dots fading towards tornus, sometimes ill-defined 
or obliterate. Hind wing and cilia silvery-white. 
Tegumen elongate, narrow, arms strongly dilated posteriorly. Uncus 
very short, terminal projection long, linear, clavate and bristled posteriorly. 
Hamus strong, broad at base, much narrowed posteriorly, sinuate, top 
curved latcrad, spoon-like; a short triangular lateral projection below base 
of hamus. Socius absent. Transtilla broad, membraneous, bristled (paired 
- — or broken in middle?). Valva elongate-ovate, narrowed; costa with a 
small ridge towards base, an oblique row of fine bristles in disc; cucullus 
moderately bristled along edge; sacculus with a strong triangular base, 
and a short curved patch of bifid bristles terminally, which decrease in 
length posteriorly. Anellus very strong, short. Aedoeagus stout, little 
curved, rather short, beyond middle dilated posteriorly, with orifice 
strongly sclerotized, with dentate edges and a split ventrally. Cornuti, 
three strong spines. (Slide No. 658 D, holotype). 
Entire seventh segment in female strongly sclerotized, plicate and 
intricately shaped. Limen very broad, lower edge with a rounded median 
projection and deep rounded excavations laterally, above which two folds 
rounded above; a third fold median, invert-cordiform, behind this fold 
lays the narrow ostium with a high dorsal wall which has a tolerably 
straight, somewhat serrulate upper edge. Ductus bursae very short, 
sclerotized. Bursa copulatrix moderate, simple. Ovipositor clavate, a 
triangular slightly bifid median dorsal lobe, upper lobe short, concave, 
lower lobe broad, rounded, strongly concave, almost touching other lobe 
medianly. (Slide No. 659 D, allotype).
