Description ( Fig. 2 ): Wingspan 8 mm ; Head brush cream-coloured, from neck to basis of antennae dark brown, clearly separated from the cream-coloured region; antennae dark brown on the dorsal site, ventrally cream-coloured; labial palpi outside brown, inside cream-coloured; thorax cream-coloured, tegulae brown; fore- and middlelegs outside brown with cream-coloured rings on apical ends of segments, inside unicolorous cream-coloured, hindlegs cream-coloured, without brown; forewing cream-coloured, with brown pattern: brown are the basal area, two stripes at 1/2 and 2/3, and a patch before apex; fringe cream-coloured; hindwing light cream-coloured. Male genitalia (Figs 15-16). Uncus rounded, tegumen narrow, vinculum broad, apically bent into two rounded tips, basally with two short rounded processi; valva with long transtilla and broad basal part, costal part broad apically somewhat enlarged, with blunt tip, ventral part folded, with a rounded cloth-shaped appendix; anellus with two very long arms, basally narrow, distally somewhat broader, from second half of length with numerous pointed bristles, closely connected with phallus. Female genitalia. Unknown. Life history: Unknown. Etymology: The name refers to the similarity in the shape of genitalia with Infurcitinea italica (AMSEL, 1954) . Remarks: The new species belongs to group of species with anellus with two long bristled arms ( media (WALSINGHAM, 1907) , italica (AMSEL, 1954) , cyprica PETERSEN & GAEDIKE, 1985 ). The shape of valva is quite different in media and cyprica , valva of italica differs by having an apically narrower costal arm, additionally the arms of anellus are bifurcate.
