4 / 5 below with pale ochreous ciliations. Palpus black; median segment with 
a subbasal band, a median dot and apex irrorated with white; terminal 
segment irrorated with white, white-tipped. Thorax white, mixed with 
fuscous in middle; tegula with dark fuscous basal half. Abdomen dark 
fuscous, posterior half glossy fuscous-grey, venter whitish. Legs grey, 
anterior and median tibia and tarsus black above, with broad white rings. 
Fore wing elongate, moderately dilated, costa straight, gently impressed 
along median third, apex subacute, termen hardly sinuate, rather oblique. 
Blackish-fuscous, costa black; markings white, irrorated with light 
brownish-fuscous. A sinuate longitudinal fascia, broad, originating from 
below costa beyond base, almost connected with costal edge by a row of 
whitish transverse strigulae; this fascia slightly outwardly oblique to 
dorsum, thence narrowed, along dorsum to beyond middle, thence straight 
to below 4 / 5 of costa, with a broad, clavate branch from above middle of 
disc to termen before tornus; this fascia white, anterior third densely 
irrorated with light fuscous, edges rather suffused, marked with a few 
blackish dots below fold; posterior part less irrorated, well-defined; 
ascending branch with serrate edge ; branch to tornus with anterior edge 
serrate, posterior considerably rounded, touching termen before tornus 
at one point; light fuscous irroration forming rather well defined blotches: 
a subtriangular smaller blotch on lower angle of cell connected above 
with a black sinuate strigula along closing vein bearing a round black dot 
on upper angle of cell; and a larger elongate transverse blotch from above 
termen before tornus to middle of disc well beyond cell ; three black dots 
on costa before apex and in apex, separated by pairs of moderate white 
transverse marks, anterior dot edged and preceded by single white stri- 
gulae; fuscous-black ground colour forming an elongate-ovate patch 
before upper half of termen, connected with apical black dot by a long- 
itudinal light fuscous-brownish spot; this patch also connected with 
termen above tornus by a narrow vertical streak of the same colour; 
terminal edge black; a white marginal strigula below apex; a few irre- 
gularly scattered white submarginal dots along middle third of termen ; a 
larger white dot on termen just above tornus. Cilia black around apex, 
along termen black with white basal half which is irregularly barred with 
black; cilia around tornus and dorsum white with a pair of elongate black 
spots on basal half. Hind wing dark fuscous-grey; cilia pale grey with 
dark greyish-fuscous basal third. 
Tegumen broad. Uncus short, top with a moderate flattened projection. 
Socius large, forming a median thick bristled pad and a lateral slightly 
curved porrect projection. Transtilla narrow, straight. Valva nanow, 
constricted before middle, cucullus large, strongly dilated, with three 
marginal teeth. Aedoeagus rather long, flattened dorso-ventrafly (Slide 
No. 828 I), holotype).
