wing markings are similar to those of plagiata in both sexes except the
area distal to the forewing black bar is not heavily marked in black. The male
genitalia have a club-like costal process and a hooked saccular one, the latter
distinctively shaped and spined as illustrated. The aedeagus has an apical
spine, and the distinctly rectangular vesica has a massive basal cornutus and a
smaller apical one, the latter similar in size to that at the aedeagus apex.
