). Wingspan 8.0‒10.0 mm. Head white, occiput yellow. Labial palpus white, inter- mixed with yellow scales; third segment brownish yellow distally, acute apically. Antenna with scape white on dorsal surface except dark brown apically, yellow on ventral surface; flagellum white ringed with dark brown dorsally, white ringed with yellow ventrally. Thorax and tegula pale brownish yellow. Forewing with basal 3/5 orange yellow, distal 2/5 brownish ochreous yellow; three white fasciae edged with sparse black scales: basal fascia extending from base of costal margin obliquely outward to base of dorsum; antemedian fascia extending from about basal 1/5 of costal margin to basal 2/5 of dorsum, oblique outward, parallel with basal fascia, slightly widened anteriorly; postmedian fascia from basal 3/5 of costal margin to dorsum just before end of fold, widest on costal margin, narrowed sub-triangularly to anterior 2/5, with scattered black scales on outer margin, posterior 3/5 narrow, oblique inward; black and grey scales from outer margin of postmedian fascia scattered along termen to apex; apical spot white, small; cilia ochreous brownish yellow along distal part of costal margin, ochreous yellow mixed with black-tipped scales along termen. Hindwing and cilia grey.

). Uncus heavily sclerotized, knife-shaped, wide at base, narrowed to pointed apex; left margin obliquely straight; right margin arched, with dense spines along distal 3/4, forming a tuft exceeding apex. Tegumen relatively short, produced posterolaterally, concave semicircularly on anterior margin. Valva narrow, subrectangular, with two sclerotized apical lobes: dorsal lobe shorter, arched dorsad and bearing setae beyond middle, narrowed and produced to a spine distally; ventral process longer and wider, narrowed to sharp apex, with strong dense setae. Sacculus broad, shorter than ventral distal process. Saccus shorter than uncus, sub-triangular, rounded anteriorly. Juxta weakly sclerotized, cylindrical. Aedeagus straight, slightly shorter than uncus, sclerotized distally, with a cochlea-like sclerite near apex, with dense fine spines apically; cornutus absent.
