Description
The male flies during the day. Its palpi are short, porrect (extending forward), and heavily fringed with hair. Antennae with long branches and with long spines at extremities. Legs heavily hairy. Abdomen with a dorsal tuft on second segment. Forewings with vein 9 arising from vein 10 and anastomosing with vein 8 to form an areole. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 from angle of cell. Vein 5 from just above angle. Vein 6 and 7 stalked.
In the female, the palpi and legs are less hairy. Antennae serrate. Wings aborted, scale-like and covered with hair. Abdomen covered with hair and immensely dilated when full of eggs.[4]
