Etymology:
The specific epithet is taken from the Latin
latus
(= broad) +
penna
(= wing), indicating the wide forewing of this species.
Description:
Male
.
Head
. White in ground colour and extensively marked with dark brown; vertical and orbital markings dark brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture dorsally bordered with dark brown band; frons with two pairs of dark brown bands, lateral pair smaller but darker; gena mostly dark brown with white portion medially; eye black, small, IO/D = 1.1–1.4; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with dark brown band; postclypeus with
c.
eight rows of blackish brown spots at middle, fused with each other ventrally forming a large T-shaped marking, ventro-lateral corner white; anteclypeus dark brown. Antenna brown, pedicel and scape darker. Mouth parts brown.
Thorax
. Prothorax brown. Meso- and metathorax mostly dark brown except membranous region white; dorsal surface of mesonotum paler, median and postero-lateral regions white, with pair of faint blackish spots at posterior end of anterior lobe.
Legs.
Brown; median part of fore femur and tibiae of all legs except distal tips paler.
Forewing
(
Fig. 5H
). Somewhat broad, moderately spotted. Spots in cell a
1
distinct, distant spot usually larger or sometimes almost equal in size. Opposing spots in cell r distinct but sometimes faint. Proximal band narrow and faint, darker and distinct in cell CuP, just below fork of M + Cu and around Rs-M fusion. Distal band broad and distinct. Spot on roof of cell m
3
usually small and indistinct in distal half. Submarginal spots distinct, spots in cells r
1
and m
3
fainter and sometimes indistinct. Marginal clouds indistinct.
Hindwing.
Hyaline, cell CuP with faint sparse spots or not; veins brown.
Abdomen
. White, each segment with irregular blackish brown band, thicker ventrally and laterally.
Terminalia
. Clunial arm variable in shape but usually short. Epiproct lobe (
Fig. 14D
) short, shorter than basal width, usually sharply narrowing to rounded or truncate narrow dorsal margin. Hypandrium (
Fig. 14E
): left process conical, strongly projected postero-laterally, slightly to strongly curved; right process triangular, weakly projected posteriorly; median tongue slightly to moderately constricted near middle, apical margin with triangular notch medially. Phallosome (
Fig. 14F
): pseudoparameres short and broad, expanded laterally, almost fused medially with shallow hollow posteriorly. Phallobase narrowing anteriorly, with triangular anterior end.
Length
. B 2.8–3.2; FW 4.6–5.5; HW 3.5–4.2.
Female
. Colour and general morphology almost as in male; eye IO/D = 2.2–2.3.
Genitalia
: Egg guide of subgenital plate (
Fig. 15A
) broad, broader than long, anterior margin somewhat rounded, anterior margin of body of subgenital plate almost straight, with narrow and deep median notch. Internal plate as in
Figure 15B
.
Length
. B 3.6–4.0; FW 4.8–5.5; HW 3.6–4.5.
