Diagnosis. Male: Forewing length 12–13mm. Nudum 13. DFW brand thin; subapical spot orange, reduced in R4– R5, but developed in R5-M1. VFW costal area, apical spot and marginal band homogeneous orange. VHW with a central redish streak from base to margin, flanked by whitish margins. Median apophyses of tegumen developed, simple; lateral projections pointed. Harpe large, sharply angled.
Description. Male: DFW orange spots in R4-M1, M2-CuA2 and from posterior half CuA2 area to anal margin; sparse dark orange scales present on costal and discal cell areas. Brand black, bipartite, anterior part elongate, emarginated with CuA1 and slightly angled towards CuA2, posterior part short, drop-shaped, emarginated anteriorly with CuA2. DHW orange spot large, from Rs to slightly beyond CuA2; also with an elongated orange longitudinal spot along 2A, from base to apex; elongated bristles orange, mainly concentrated on discal cell and anal areas. VFW ground color dark brown; costal area and apical spots dark orange; faint orange spots in R4-M1 and developed in M3 to CuA2; VHW ground color yellowish, with a central transversal reddish streak from base to margin, flanked by whitish margins; anal fold dark brown. Genitalia: median apophyses of tegumen slightly longer than the fenestra, thinner than half of fenestra; fenestra triangular, as wide as long; lateral apophyses of tegumen symmetrically pointed. Saccus shorter than tegumen lenght, lobed. Uncus symmetric; arms separated from each other by a short distance. Valvae symmetrical; harpe projection large, apex rounded with reduced groove markings on inner margin and reduced spines on tip; sacculus short, triangular. Aedeagus longer than valva + saccus length; coecum slightly curved dorsally; dorso-posterior end of aedeagus hollowed, hollow long, extending anteriorly and contiguous with opening of ejacutalorius bulbus; ventro-posterior end of aedeagus with large sclerotized foldings. Fultura inferior as lateral fusiform lobes united medially by a thin bar. Female unknown.
