Fore wing : inner and outer margins subequal, rather produced at apex ; cell less than two-thirds the length of costa ; middle discocellular more than twice the length of lower one ; vein 5 from close to bottom of cell; vein 3 well before end of cell; vein 2 close to base of wing. Hind wing slightly elongated ; outer margin even ; costa very prominently arched at base ; vein 7 shortly before end of cell; discocellulars faint; vein 5 not traceable ; vein 3 close to end of cell, twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing ; lower margin of cell not angled at veins 3 or 2. Hind tibiae with a long fringe and with two pairs of spurs. Male with two glandular streaks on the underside of fore wing, the lower along vein 2 at its origin and the upper immediately above it on the lower margin of cell, and there is also a tuft of hairs affixed to the inner margin at extreme base of the wing and directed upwards. * abima, Hew.

Hind wing: cell extending more than half across wing ; vein 7 close to end of cell, arising at an acute angle ; discocellulars faint; vein 5 distinctly traceable; vein 3 immediately before end of cell; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing.
