Diagnosis.
The new species is characterized by the elongated forewing with light-orange basal fascia and a large, half-moon-shaped, light orange costal patch medially.
Description.
Adult (
Figs. 1A, B
). Wingspan 20.5–21.0 mm.
Head
: Light yellow dorsally. Antenna much longer than forewing, about 1.3 times length of forewing; scape elongated, slightly dilated apically, light yellow all around; flagellum light yellow, without annulations, not ciliate. Second segment of labial palpus slender, slightly thickened, about 3 times the length of diameter of compound eye; light yellow all around; 3
rd
segment slightly longer than 2
nd
segment, strongly upturned, sharply pointed apically, light yellow all around.
Thorax
: Tegula and thorax light yellow. Hind tibia light yellow, with dark-brown scale-tuft at middle and at end dorsally; tarsi light yellow. Forewing ground color yellowish brown, with light-orange, more or less triangular basal fascia; costal patch large, half-moon-shaped, light orange, occupied from 2/5 to 2/3 on costa, followed by narrow light orange band along costa beyond apex; apex obtuse; termen oblique, nearly straight; fringe light orange before tornus, yellowish brown around tornus; venation with R

Abdomen
(Fig. F): Spinous zones broadly developed with fine spines; segment VIII not modified.
Male genitalia
(
Figs. 1C–E
): Uncus heavily sclerotized, stout, pointed apically. Median process of gnathos large basally, narrowed toward apex; bent downward pre-apically. Tegumen weakly sclerotized, concave on anterior margin. Valva broad at base; costa slightly expanded anteriorly in basal 1/4, slightly concave medially; cucullus slightly longer than basal part of valva, narrowed toward apex, dense setose; apex rounded; sacculus narrowly elongate to lower corner of cucullus. Vinculum banded, sclerotized. Juxta shield-shaped, weakly sclerotized, without caudal processes, emarginated at middle on anterior margin. Aedeagus stout, as long as valva; cornutus crescent plate with spine-like process.

nota
(= mark), with a Latin diminutive suffix, referring to the yellowish mark on the forewing.
