The male antennae are serrate to narrowly bipectinate with dense ciliae, but the
facies is otherwise much as in ciliata except
the medial fascia has a fainter second fascia just distad and parallel. The male
genitalia are distinctive in having a marginal, straight, subapical spine
distally to the more sinuous saccular one, flanking the densely setose cucullus.
The aedeagus vesica (not everted) has numerous cornuti. The female genitalia
have a broad corpus bursae and a long, reflexed appendix bursae. There are
fields of long spines in the basal, slightly sclerotised part of the appendix,
and a few also in the neck of the ductus. There is a finer scobination of
shorter spines in the distal part of the corpus bursae.

preference. All
males are from near mangrove on the coast. Single females were taken at the type
locality, at 30m in disturbed forest at Seria near the Brunei coast (slide
4928), and in primary forest at 600m on G. Trus Madi in Sabah (slide 4923). The
forewings of these last two females are illustrated in Figs9h, i, that from
Seria having more typical facies.
