Derivatio nominis
: Named after the country where the
holotype
was collected.
Diagnosis
(
Fig. 3
): As the condition of the
holotype
is somewhat poor (head, thorax and wings partly rubbed), it is impossible to give a complete diagnosis. Wingspan
13 mm
; antennae as long as forewing, scapus with pecten; labial palpi whitish, second segment with long, apically dark scales, third segment short, thin, pointed; forewing creamy, with indications of dark brown pattern in the apical half; hindwings shiny grey.
Male genitalia
(
Figs 27-29
): Uncus with two rounded edges, gnathos arms angled before 1/2, narrowed to blunt apex; saccus narrow, as long as uncus-tegumen complex, valvae as long as saccus, parallel-sided, apically rounded only a little narrower as basally; phallus nearly twice longer as valva, basally rounded, thin, without any teeth.
Female genitalia
: unknown.
Remarks
: The very long thin phallus without any teeth make this species distinguishable from the other known members of this genus.
