Diagnosis. This species is distinguished by the hindwing bearing a row of long scales along lower edge of cell and CuA1, and the posterior tibia in the male conspicuously broadened by rough black scales. There is a slight difference between the male genitalia of our specimen and that of the holotype from Sri Lanka: in our specimen the cucullus has a broad, almost rectangular apex, whereas in the holotype the cucullus has an elongate-oval apex.
