In female genitalia it differs by the shape of antrum with very thin and long, Y-shaped antevaginal plate. Male genitalia not examined. <b>Description.</b> Adult (Fig. 24). Wingspan: male 22 mm, female 22–24 mm. Head, thorax and ground color of forewing greenish-ochreous; basal field with patch of black scales, surrounded with white, green-ochreous in costal field; antemedial line twin, inner line well marked at costal margin, becoming indistinct towards ventral margin; outer line thin, waved; medial field green-ochreous, darker in mid part; orbicular rounded, bordered with blackish line; medial shadow diffused; reniform S-shaped, with two white nuclei, in costal part surrounded with whitish suffusion; antemedial line thin, black, dentate, bordered outside by white line; subterminal line blackish-brown; subapical streak blackish, prominent; terminal field green-ochreous; terminal line expressed as row of wide black streaks; cilia blackish, yellowish basally. Hindwing whitish at base and around tornal angle, blackish in apical angle, discal spot distinct, medial band traceable; cilia whitish with grey. <b>Female genitalia</b> (Fig. 67). Papillae anales large, compared with other species, anterior and posterior apophyses strong, moderate, equal in length; antrum elongate, with thin, Y-shaped antevaginal plate; ductus bursae somewhat shorter than antrum, with sclerotised ring in joining with antrum; corpus bursae sack-like. <b>Distribution.</b> (Fig. 80).
