Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale yellow; labial palpus with outer surface brown intermixed with few pale­yellow scales, segment II with pale­yellow scales to near apical margin; inner margin pale yellow intermixed with few brown scales; scape of antenna brown intermixed with pale­yellow scales, flagellum with alternating bands of brown and pale­brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere distally dilated, protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite deeply excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; proboscis pale yellow. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown. Legs brown with pale­yellow scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 324 ): Length 6.9 mm (n = 1 ), pale brown intermixed with few brown scales [most specimens are slightly rubbed]. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Elongate pale­yellow scales except, with brown scales between basal half of Rs and anterior part of cell. Abdomen (Fig. 111 ): Male with 4 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental areas between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 . Sex scales between terga 2–3 about of equal size as sex scales between terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 112–113 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, slightly constricted at 1 / 3 , laterally rounded apically, apex attenuate and setose; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, wide basally, abruptly narrowed, forming a knoblike, apical process; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent from a wide base, fusing medially and broadly from posteroventral margin to base of uncus; valva nearly straight from a shallow depression slightly beyond a slanted, basal, digitate process to apical furca; furca falcate, with a wide base; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva before midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and broadly widened cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus denticulate, bearing an elongate, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus abruptly dilated basally, exposing a hollow, basal cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
