Diagnosis.
The new species can be distinguished in the male genitalia by the costa with a short subquadrate process at the base, the sacculus distinctly narrowed at distal 1/3, the ventral margin of the valva roundly produced at basal 1/3, and the aedeagus with denticles and long thorns distally.
Description.
Adult (
Fig. 4
). Wingspan 14.0 –
14.5 mm
.
Head
yellow. Labial palpus and antenna yellow.
Thorax.
Mesonotum and tegula yellow, with scattered yellowish brown scales at apex. Forewing yellow, covered with brown scales; discal, discocellular and plical stigmata dark brown; terminal dots brown; fringe yellow. Hindwing and fringe gray, tinged with yellow. Legs yellow, with brown scales.
Male genitalia
(
Fig. 12
). Uncus triangular, with setae medially. Gnathos circular, narrowly banded. Valva narrowed near base, subparallel medially, slightly narrowed from distal 1/4 to obtusely rounded apex, densely setose; ventral margin obtusely produced at basal 1/3; costa with subquadrate process at base, concave semicircularly beyond this process, widened at basal 2/5, then narrowed to before dorso-apex of valva. Sacculus about 2/5 length of valva, narrowed from wide base to basal 2/3, then distinctly narrowed, distal 1/3 triangular, narrowed to apex, with short setae. Saccus subtriangular, apex rounded. Aedeagus slightly shorter than valva, basal 1/4 slenderly clubbed, distal 3/4 wider, bifurcated from its half, forming two branches: one branch slender, clubbed, obtusely rounded at apex; the other branch gradually narrowed to its middle, then widened to apex, with teeth and spines distally.
