Derivatio nominis : Named after the shape of uncus. Diagnosis ( Fig. 11 ): Wingspan 10 mm ; head brush lemon-yellow; antennae nearly white; labial palpi short, brown; thorax and tegulae and forewings brown; forewings without any pattern, apical half of fringe dark brown; hindwings dark grey. Male genitalia ( Fig. 42 ): Uncus bifurcate, with pointed tips; tegumen and vinculum broad band-shaped, distal edge of vinculum more strongly sclerotised; valvae lanceolate, basally with narrow apodeme and short square process, broadest at first third, costal edge straight, ventral edge becoming narrower to rounded apex; inside, in the first third, from base between apodeme and process, a thin rod-shaped sclerotisation; phallus connected with tegumen, hook-shaped, basally and laterally with strong sclerotised edges. Female genitalia : Unknown. Remarks : In male genitalia there are similarities to the species of the species group “ paraxena ” of GOZMÁNY & VÁRI (1973) , but the shape of valvae and the straight rod-shaped sclerotisation inside is different. The lemonyellow head brush is an additional characteristic.
