Eublemma martini Holloway sp. n.
♂♂ 7mm. This is the first of a pair of small species that have some resemblance in facies to those just preceding (particularly betarosea and plagirosea), the wings having a pale white ground with extensive areas of rosy grey, though the apical triangle of the forewing and the medial to dorsal zone of the hindwing contain greenish patches against a background of the ground colour. The green patches on the forewing cut the apex off obliquely in martini, their distal edge being irregularly trilobed. The hindwing patch is a stout lens-shape, with an extensive area of white basal to it. The rest of the forewing is more extensively rosy grey than in the next species, except along the costa. There is a diffuse grey patch subapically on the costa, distal to the green band. The male genitalia are somewhat atypical of Eublemma in having the two processes on the tongue-like valves that are on the costal and ventral margins more as in Corgatha, digitate, extending along the margin. In martini the costal one is almost twice as long as the ventral one.
