Arctornis labi Holloway sp. n.

♂♂ 14mm. The wings are a diaphanous, dull medium brown, darker in ground than in ouria and plumbacea, but without their darker markings. The genitalia indicate this species is not closely related, as the uncus is short, only shallowly bifid. The harpe is long, slender, enclosed in a large flap from the costal area after it leaves the saccular pocket. There is also a large, rounded, marginally scobinate projection from the valve costa.
