Wingspan 16.0 mm. This specimen is distinguished by the bicoloured black and white thorax – except for the brown tegulae – and the nearly rectangular basal white macula on the forewing upperside. The genitalia (
Fig. 40
) are characterised by a hump on each side near the anterior margin of sternite 7; a wide, anteriorly and posteriorly strongly sclerotised ductus bursae; and rather straight horn-shaped signa. The description of this unnamed species will await the discovery of the male.
