Technical Description, Adults:
Dietz (1905); Forbes (1923)
Adult Markings:
This species is easily recognized by its sulphur yellow and dark brown color patterning. The following detailed description is based on Dietz (1905). The head, thorax and and ground color of the forewing are deep sulphur yellow, while the antenna is dark brown. The labial and maxillary palps are pale yellow and speckled with dark brown scales. A narrow, dark brown costal streak extends from the base to about one-half the wing length where it expands into a semi-circular blotch. At about four-fifths there is a matched pair of smaller, irregular blotches. The larger is on the costa and the second immediately dorsal to it. These are sometimes connected. The inner margin has a large, irregular, dark brown blotch that extends from about one-fourth to the beginning of the dorsal fringe. It has two arms that extend inwardly in the anterior and posterior portion to produce a concavity. The cilia is sulphur yellow. The hindwings and cilia are dark brown. The abdomen is fuscous above, with the tip and underside yellowish. The legs are pale yellow with fuscous markings above.
Wingspan:
11.0-11.5 mm (Dietz, 1905)
Adult ID Requirements:
Identifiable from good quality photos of unworn specimens.
Immatures and Development:
The larval life history and ecology are undocumented.
