Adult habitus. General color yellow brown with brown markings. Head yellow with small, dusky ocellar spot and darker lappets. Pronotum with wide pale median band and dark midlateral bands ( Fig. 44 ). Wings transparent, veins C, Sc, and R pale, M and other veins darker. Legs pale except narrow, dark apical band on femora and brown blotch on outer proximal tibial surface; tibiae slightly darker than femora.

Female. Forewing length 16.5–18.0 mm. Subgenital plate bilobed with wide triangular notch; lobes slightly emarginate to truncate ( Fig. 45 ). Transverse

sclerite of sternum 9 narrow and straight; mesal setal patch without clear distinction of lateral patches and median stalk.

Egg. Spindle shaped, typical of genus ( Fig. 46 ). Discussion. This series of specimens, collected by light traps at several localities, and on separate dates, from Risaralda in the Región Natural Andina, includes a large number of females (112), but no male was associated with them. This situation suggests that the male of this species may not be strongly attracted to the black or white light.
