Description.
Adult (
Figs. 2A, C–F
). Wingspan 12.0 mm.
Head
: Vertex light brown with grayish-orange erect scales laterally. Antenna 0.8 times shorter than forewing; scape grayish orange with dark brown scales on outer surface; flagellum light yellow throughout, without annulations, finely ciliate ventrally. 2
nd
segment of labial palpus thickened, dark brown on outer surface, grayish orange on inner surface; 3
rd
segment 0.8 times shorter than 2
nd
segment, dark brown on outer surface, grayish orange on inner surface (
Figs. 2C, D
).
Thorax
: Notum dark brown with light brown tegula. Forewing slightly dilated distally, without any markings; ground color light brown; costa slightly arched in basal 3/5, then nearly straight, curved toward apex in distal 1/5; apex obtuse; termen slightly oblique, not sinuate; fringe concolorous with ground color; venation (

) with R
1
arising from basal 3/5 of discal cell; R
2
arising near the upper corner of cell; distance between origins of R
2
and R
3+4
about 3.6 times shorter than that of R

and R

; R

remote from CuA
1+2
; CuA

and CuA
2
shortly stalked; 1A+2A shortly forked at base; discal cell closed. Hindwing slightly broader than forewing; ground color brownish gray, with nearly straight costal margin beyond basal 1/3; apex obtuse; termen slightly concave medially; fringe concolorous with ground color; venation with M
2
absent; M
3
stalked with CuA
1
for basal 1/4; discal cell weakly opened. Hindtibia grayish orange with concolorous rough scales (
Figs. 2E, F
).
Abdomen
(
Fig. 2J
): Spinose zones about 4 times wider than length in posterior half of each II–VII tergite. Anterior margin of VIII tergite heavily sclerotized, narrowed concavely towards anteromedial apex.
Male genitalia
(
Figs. 2H, I
): Uncus elongated, exceeding apex of basal plate of gnathos. Median process of gnathos gradually narrowed, slightly bent in apical 1/7, with pointed apex. Tegumen weakly sclerotized, concave into inverted funnel-shape at anterior medial margin. Valva broad at base, slightly narrower toward cucullus, with small expansion at base anteriorly; costa extended at base; cucullus shortly developed, less than half of basal part of valva, thumb-like, upturned, with dense setae mainly along ventral margin. Saccus heavily sclerotized, spinelike, sharply pointed. Juxta bowl-shaped, slightly concave dorso-medially, with one pair of caudal processes arising from one on each latero-medial margin; latero-caudal process slender with rounded apex having three setae, weakly sclerotized, nearly same length as juxta. Aedeagus stout, slightly shorter than valva, narrowed at distal 1/5; cornuti consisting of 9 strong, long spines.
Female unknown.

hanaro
, meaning “all together”.
