Forewing pale white, without patches on basal half of corium; clavus with one yellow round patch centrally and a brown spot distally; brochosome area with one oblique strip along distal margin and parallel to two other oblique stripes along lateral margin of apical area of corium; RP vein with a brown spot on apical 1/3, 1st apical cell and its adjoining area covered with irregular brownish patches; 3rd apical cell quadrate. Hind wing white and translucent (

).
Male genitalia
: Pygofer side brownish black distally; upper lobe strongly pigmented and serrated with several rigid microsetae distally (
Figs 30, 31
). Subgenital plate with one long macroseta near basal 1/3; three moderate macrosetae arranged longitudinally near apical 1/3; row of fine microsetae extended from basal 1/3 to subapex and two rigid microsetae on apex (
Figs 32, 33
). Connective slender with central ridge long and lateral arms weakly divergent (
Fig. 34
). Paramere slender and smooth (
Fig. 35
). Aedeagus with developed dorsoatrium; aedeagal shaft slim and strongly recurved in lateral view with two pairs of slim apical appendages; dorsal appendages not branched, arched towards outside and pegged by branches of ventral appendages in dorsal view; ventral appendages sinuated with a short protrusion at basal 1/3 and one branch in middle length (

Measurement.
Length of male 3.62–3.76 mm (including wing).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “
dissimilis
”, referring to ventral appendages of aedeagal shaft different from other species in
E.
(
S.
)
robusta
group.
Remarks.
This new species most resembles
E.
(
S.
)
rona
in male genitalia, but differs in having the ventral appendages of the aedeagal shaft with a shorter branch at midlength and a small protrusion at basal 1/3 (
Fig. 38
).
