This species as redescribed in detail on the basis of the female
holotype
(

) by
Kallies (2007)
. We here report the discovery of the males of this species, which are described in detail below.
Redescription. Male (
Fig. 27
).
Wingspan
23 mm
; forewing length 10.5 mm; body length
13 mm
. Most body parts black. Head: frons grey, white laterally, labial palps white medially, neck plate white; pericephalic scales white laterally. Thorax: cranio-laterally white bordered; tegulae with medial borders white; with a white spot at the base of the forewing; mesothorax with some white distally; coxae, tibiae and tarsi partly white. Forewing: with well developed transparent areas, PTA extending all the way under the discal spot; ETA well-developed, base of the area between R4 and R5 transparent and part of the ETA, discal spot wide; discal area wide. Hindwing: transparent, outer margin relatively wide; discal spot well developed, long and rectangular. Abdomen: tergites 2, 4, 6 and partly 7 with narrow white distal borders; sternite 1 partly white; sternites 3–5 with white distal borders; anal tuft well-developed, with few white scales, valvae with white scales.
Genitalia. Male (Gen. Prep. 757,
Fig. 39
).
Valva long and narrow, dorsal setae field densely covered with well-sclerotized multifurcate hand-like setae; ventral field with simple setae; basal field well-separated, covered with short and very strong setae; gnathos very long, bilobed; uncus very long, straight and narrow; phallus narrow and simple.
Female (Gen. Prep. AK191,
Fig. 41
).
Apophyses very long and strong; ductus relatively short; corpus bursae small, simple; ostium very large, protruding, ventrally well-sclerotized.

Variability.
The specimens from Prov. Shaanxi have a somewhat narrower forewing discal spot and distal area, resulting in a slightly larger ETA. However, there were no detectable differences in the morphology of the male genitalia.
