Male. Whitish cinereous, stout, with a very slight pale fawn- 
coloured tinge. Palpi long, compressed, fringed to their tips, 
reflexed over the head to the middle of the thorax ; second joint 
vertical, slightly curved ; third horizontal, as long as the second, 
with which it forms a right angle. Antennae pubescent, rather 
short, hardly serrated. Abdomen extending a little beyond the 
hind wings. Legs stout ; fore legs densely pilose. Wings rather 
broad and short; marginal points black, forming lunules in the fore 
wings; fringe twice interlined. Fore wings acutely rectangular, 
with two slender denticulated incomplete black lines, between 
which there is an oblique oblong luteous discal spot ; marginal 
space pale brownish, like that of the hind wings ; in the latter the 
lines are much more distinct beneath than above. Female . — Palpi 
curved, not angular, ascending higher than the vertex, but not 
reflexed over the head. Length of the body 3 — 4 lines ; of the wings 
7 — 8 lines. 
This and the three following species may be included in one 
group; the fifth is somewhat different in structure, and the sixth 
species recedes still more from the first group.
