Chusaris albilineata Holloway sp. n.
♀♀ 12-13mm. The general colour is a pale, rather ashy grey. The forewing fasciae are white, the submarginal irregularly crenulate, with a darker edging basad, the postmedial a smooth sigmoid sweeping round the discal mark, and the antemedial irregularly transverse. The dark marks are reduced compared with retataloides and mulumaculata, with a triangular discal mark and a small orbicular; costal triangles occur only medially and antemedially. The hindwings lack fasciation on the dorsum. The female genitalia have long apodemes in the eighth segment, a short ductus bursae, funnel-like from a broad ostium, and a finely scobinate, pyriform corpus bursae, the neck lightly sclerotised.
