This species is distinguished from the other species in the genus by the presence of elongated blackish marks with small whitish point at the level of veins in the postmedial band of the forewings, which are not visible in ventral view. In the male genitalia, it differs from
by the elongated and striated furca, more similar to that of

This species stands out for the presence of a U-shaped gnathos with an expanded apex like a denticulate plate, transtilla with a digitiform process at the apex, and aedeagus with a fine and elongated caecum, half the total length of the aedeagus.
