. Eyes are semiglobular, black; palpi small, pale, with slight greyish suffusion, antennae filiform. Vesture of body and ground colour of the wings and the cilia is light greyish; more variegated suffused in the middle area and in the apex of forewings, but unicolorous in the hindwings. The most remarkable further external features of the new species are the rounded forewing apex, the typical, however obscure orbicular reniform and claviform stigmata, the dark definition of the spot between the orbicular and reniform stigmata, wavy antemedial lines, archedcrenate postmedial lines with fine white shade; conjectural, whitish subterminal lines, diffuse medial fascia and the hindwings with conspicuously defined discal spot. Underside of wings is whitish without wing pattern; only with the fine blackish shade of the discal spot.
