Head: Scales of frons shiny whitish cream, moderately broad with 3-4-dentate apices, flatly appressed to frons with apices directed dorsad; a pair of scale tufts consisting of very slender, elongate scales arising from lower corners of frons. Vertex with a prominent pair of lateral, occipital tufts composed of very elongate, piliform, pale cream scales with minutely bidentate scales. Labial palpus with apical segment mostly smoothly scaled; scales of segment 2 flat, strongly appressed dorsally, shiny white to whitish cream; venter of segment 2 with a dense brush of long, slender, erect, whitish (rarely suffused with dark brown) scales with minutely bidentate apices, and a lateral series of ~ 13-16 long, whitish bristles sometimes with dark apices. Antenna ~ 2/3 as long as forewing; scales smoothly appressed, uniformly pale cream except for scales with dark brown apices along anterior edge and sometimes venter of flagellum; scape mostly pale cream irrorated with dark brown scales along anterior edge; pectin well developed, consisting of a longitudinal row of 12-14 long dark setae; scales of scape and pedicel moderately broad; flagellum with a single row of more slender scales completely encircling each segment; short cilia usually not evident but often visible between scales.</paragraph>

Dorsum and tegula pale cream, usually with suffusion of light brown medially; apices of light brown scales often with dark brown apices giving a mottle appearance to dorsum; thorax whitish cream ventrally. Forewing predominantly pale whitish cream, variably irrorated or streaked with medium to dark brown scales; a medium to dark brown, variously interrupted streak usually extending from wing base almost to tornus (completely lacking in some specimens); costal margin often with small concentrations of dark brown scales present near base of forewing, near distal 2/3, distal 4/5 and at apex; those markings near apex sometimes forming short striae; a pale whitish cream patch of scales along margin between spot at distal 4/5 and apex; apex of forewing bent abruptly dorsad; fringe white to pale cream, variably banded at apex with 1-2 slender bands of dark brown scales; most of ventral surfaces of fore and hindwings (except for whitish cream fringes) medium to dark brown. Hindwing uniformly pale grayish brown; fringe mostly concolorous except for 2-3 narrow bands of dark brown scales around apex. Frenulum a single long spine in male and female. Fore and midlegs mostly pale to dark brown dorsally and pale cream ventrally with pale to dark brown banding on tibia and tarsomeres; hind leg generally paler, almost entirely pale cream in color.
