257:; projecting nearly length of head beyond it. Fore legs gray irrorated above with fuscous and with a conspicuous dilation at end of tibia. (Second pair of legs wanting.) Hind legs very long, light gray, spurs minute, first pair at about two-thirds, second pair apical. Head gray, with a faint fuscous median line. Thorax pale fuscous, with a sub-dorsal graying longitudinal line.

Fore wing elongate, narrow, widening exteriorly, with a slightly falcate apex and distinct tornal angle; grayish fuscous; a dark fuscous bar along dorsum from base to about 1/3; outer third of wing (except costa) irrorated with dark fuscous and traversed by an oblique white streak most conspicuous in apex.
