As the original brief description of this species, made from 
Queensland examples, is not very accessible to workers in Ceylon, 
1 have thought it best to draw up the following re description from 
Sinhalese specimens :— 
Male and female. Expanse 8-9 mm. Labial palpi white ; second 
joint expanded with scales apically, and suffused with fuscous 
beneath apex ; third joint cylindrical, rather rough-scaled, about half 
length of second. Maxillary palpi minute, acuminate. Antennae 
whitish, faintly dotted beneath with pale oclireous-brown, finely 
ciliated. Head white, sprinkled with dark fuscous on vertex.
