Description
.
Adults
(
Figs. 17–19
). Forewing length
12–13 mm
in males and 14–14.5 mm in females. Forewings dark brown; yellow costal margin contrast, but at apeX there is dark brown stroke; apical half of outer margin with triangular yellow dash crossed by dark Veins; dark postmedian costal spot distinct. Hindwings light brown, slightly lighter at anal part.
Male genitalia
(
Figs. 32–33
). Uncus slightly widened at apeX, with clear apical denticle; cucullus slightly wider than sacculus; dorsal edge of cucullus apeX rectangular, Ventral – rounded; distal saccular process narrow, apically pointed, bent dorsally; aedeagus slightly S-shaped, Vesica membranous, with elongate diVerticulum constricted apicaly and haVing a small finger-like subbasal subdiVerticulum, Vesica ejaculatorius originating subbasally.
Female genitalia
(
Fig. 42
). OVipositor short and broad; apophyses anteriores and posteriores of same length, long and thin; ductus bursae moderately sclerotized, dorso-Ventrally flattened, narrowed posteriorly; corpus bursae pear-like, membranous, without signa.
Remark
. There is a Visible Variability in cucullus and sacculus length; in some specimens, sacculus apeX is noticeably longer that cucullus apeX, but we haVe not enough material to study this Variability.
