Abdomen paler grey. Antennae filiform in both sexes, thicker, more in flated in male. Forewing elongated, broad, apex rounded, outer margin slightly crenulate. Ground colour pure or slightly brownish ash-grey, irrorated with dark grey and brown, outer part of medial area often suffused with brownish. Hindwing glossy, uniformly dark greyish brown, veins slightly darker, discal spot absent. Terminal line dark brown, cilia white, spotted with greyish brown. This species M. weixleri Hreblay & Ronkay, 1997 is very similar to M. kononenkoi Poole, 1989, but is generally smaller in size, the wings are narrower, the forewing colouration is more vivid with more distinct crosslines, especially of the subterminal, the stigmata are smaller, the brownish suffusion is stronger and the hindwing is darker. The description of this speices based on the description of Hreblay and Ronkay(1997).Meganephria weixleri頭部及胸部灰色,並摻了棕色及些許白色毛。觸鬚、前額、領節及肩板具深棕色及黑色斑紋,後胸具很多叢毛。腹部淡灰色。雌雄觸角皆為絲狀,惟雄蟲觸角較粗且扁平。前翅長且寬,頂角呈圓形,外緣呈小細齒狀。前翅底色白或淡褐灰色,具深灰色及棕色斑點,中央區域外側佈滿褐色。後翅光滑,為均勻深灰色,翅脈較黑,盤狀斑點缺如。後翅外緣線深棕色,緣毛白色,具灰棕色斑點。M. weixleri與M. kononenkoi非常相似,但體型普遍較小,且翅較狹窄,前翅因具明顯橫紋使得顏色更鮮豔,尤其亞外緣線,翅紋較小且充滿較濃褐色,且後翅顏色較深。本種生態習性及寄主植物目前尚不清楚。本種敘述主要引用Hreblay and Ronkay (1997) 所發表之文獻。"
