Etymology:
The specific epithet is taken from Latin
macula
(= spotted), indicating the heavily spotted forewing in this species.
Description:
Male
.
Head
. White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings pale brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture very narrowly bordered with pale brown band dorsally; frons with two pairs of pale brown spots ventrally; eye black, IO/D = 1.0; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with dark brown band; postclypeus with
c
. eight rows of pale brown spots at middle, fused with each other ventrally forming a large blackish brown marking, ventro-lateral corner white, lateral margin of postclypeus brown, dorsal margin without marking; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown, pedicel and scape darker. Mouth parts dark brown; third segment of maxillary palpus pale brown.
Thorax
. Prothorax brown. Mesonotum white; anterior surface of scutum brown; anterior margin of lateral lobe of scutum black; posterior region of scutum with pair of brown markings at middle; scutellum white, median part and anterior margin brown; postnotum brown. Metanotum brown, with pair of whitish oval spots on posterior regions of lobes of scutum, lateral corner white. Meso- and metapleurites brown with longitudinal white band medially.
Legs.
Coxae dark brown; femora brown except middle part of fore and middle femora white; tibiae pale brown, with darker portion near distal ends; tarsi brown.
Forewing
(
Fig. 17F
). Densely covered with small spots. Spots in cell a
1
distinct, basal one smaller. Opposing spots in cell r apparent for anterior one but posterior one very small and less distinct. Proximal band broad, strongly constricted around fork of M + Cu, with elongate paler pigmented area in cell CuA. Distal band somewhat indistinct in cell r
5
, band in cell r
3
distinct. Spot on roof of cell m
3
large. Submarginal spots diffuse; spot in cell r
5
larger than others and distinct; spots in cell m
1
, m
2
and m
3
small, sometimes indistinct. Marginal clouds clear, darker along veins.
Hindwing.
Hyaline, extensively covered with pale brown spots, some spots fused with each other to form a large marking in cell CuP; veins brown.
Abdomen
. White, each segment with blackish brown band.
Terminalia
. Clunial arm (
Fig. 25A
) long and narrow, slightly arched, forming pointed free process apically, antero-ventrally with fleshy lobe covered with fine setae. Anterior margin of 8th sternum (
Fig. 25C
) concave; fusion with hypandrium very narrow. Epiproct lobe (
Fig. 25B
) expanded dorsally, wider than long, dorsal margin slightly arched, with rounded projection at middle, posterior surface almost flattened. Paraproct (
Fig. 25A
): ventro-lateral band short, triangular; distal process broad. Hypandrium (
Fig. 25C
) with weakly rugose region laterally; left process sinuate, directed postero-externally at apex; right process of almost equal width from base to apex, projected outward, then strongly bent posterointernally near base, with few denticles at apex; median tongue narrowing medially, then broadened apically, apical margin almost straight, dorsal keel triangular. Phallosome (
Fig. 25D
): pseudoparameres widely separated, longer than wide, directed posteriorly, apical margin rounded or somewhat truncated. Phallobase widest at anterior two-fifths, then narrowing to pointed anterior end.

Length
. B 2.6–2.9; FW 3.0–3.7; HW 2.2–2.8.
Female
. Colour and general morphology almost as in male; eye IO/D = 1.9.
Genitalia
: Egg guide of subgenital plate (
Fig. 26A
) widened near distal end, postero-lateral corners rounded, apical margin only slightly arched; body of subgenital plate with pair of broad extensions of sclerite antero-medially. Dorsal valve of gonapophyses (
Fig. 26B
) with long distal process; posterior lobe of external valve strongly projected posteriorly. Internal plate as in
Figure 26C
.
Length
. B 2.8–3.0; FW 3.2–3.8; HW 2.1–2.9.
