.
Diagnosis
(
Fig. 12
): Wingspan
10-13 mm
; head brush whitish, above palpi pale yellowish; antennae light greybrown, scapus darker, with pecten; labial palpi short, light grey-brown, segments apically darker; thorax and tegulae shiny light yellowish brown; forewings with same coloration, without any pattern; hindwings shiny whitish.
Male genitalia
(
Figs 43-44
): Uncus with two lobes, each with two strongly sclerotised thorns, the basal thorns two times longer than the apical thorns; tegumen and vinculum forming a capsule, phallus fused with vinculum by a finger-like process, nearly pistol-shaped, obliquely truncated; valvae oval, basal edge, apodeme and first third of costal edge more strongly sclerotised, costal edge ending in a short pointed tip, ventral edge evenly narrower to apex.
Female genitalia
(
Fig. 42
): Anterior apophysae forked, ventral branch enlarged, with numerous fine spines, ostium oval, with strongly sclerotised edges.
Remarks
: The shape of uncus lobes with the thorns and the shape of valvae with pointed costal tip are characteristic for this new species.
