About Bertula abjudicalis Walker, 1858
Bertula abjudicalis Walker, 1858 has a wingspan of approximately 26 mm. In males, the palpi are recurved over the vertex of the head and thorax. The second joint of the palpi is fringed with hair on its front, and bears tufts of very long hair from its inner side. The third joint of the palpi also has tufts of long hair. The fore tibia lacks a sheath. The forewings have a narrow costal fold that functions as a retinaculum. The head and thorax are dark red-brown, and the abdomen is fuscous, with a pale line on its basal segment. The basal area of the forewings is reddish-brown. An oblique ochreous antemedial line and a white lunule at the end of the cell are both present. A sinuous postmedial line runs from the costa to vein 4, where it is angled and bent inward to below the end of the cell. The area between the antemedial and postmedial lines is brownish ochreous, with faint traces of a medial line. An indistinct sinuous submarginal line is visible on the forewings. The hindwings are dark fuscous, with indistinct pale waved medial and submarginal lines. On the ventral side, the basal area is pale; a cell-spot is present, and the lines are more distinct than on the dorsal side. In some specimens, the area between the antemedial and postmedial lines of the forewings is much darker.
