Polyhymno pleuracma Meyrick, 1926 | |
The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are fuscous, the apical area pale ochreous and with a white costal line from the base to the middle, then very obliquely deflected to just above the apex of the median streak. There is a broad white median streak from the base, beyond the middle beneath with a slight tooth sometimes emitting a short fine line on the fold, then narrowed to a point at five-sixths. A short white subdorsal line is found beyond the middle, and the dorsal edge is white posteriorly. There is a more or less variable white marking or suffusion beneath the apex of the median streak and an oblique white strigula from the costa at three-fourths, where an acutely angulated silvery line runs to the tornus. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
