Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale brownish yellow; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with few pale brownish­yellow scales to apical margin of segment II; inner surface pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales; scape of antenna pale brownish yellow, flagellum with alternating bands of pale brownish­yellow and brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite slightly excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; concavity nearly closed by a few setiform scales on apex of protuberance of 4 th flagellomere; proboscis pale brownish yellow. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brownish yellow. Legs brown intermixed with pale brownish­yellow scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres, or as above except, pterothoracic legs or hindleg pale brownish yellow. Forewing (Fig. 354 ): Length 5.3–6.9 mm (n = 36 ), pale brownish yellow intermixed with brownish­orange and brown scales; cell and surrounding areas paler than marginal areas; cell with 2 small, brown spots, 1 spot near middle, 1 spot near distal end; marginal spots present or absent. Undersurface brown intermixed with pale brownish­yellow scales along costa. Hindwing: Brown. Abdomen (Fig. 201 ): Male with 4 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental membrane between terga 2–3 . Anterior row of sex scales and a few scales along the posteromedian margin appear smaller than sex scales occupying the middle rows. Male Genitalia (Figs. 202–203 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, broadly constricted near 1 / 3 , slightly rounded apically, apex narrowly rounded and setose; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, moderately wide throughout length, apically upturned; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, medially fused from posteroventral margin, extending narrowly to base of uncus; costa of valva nearly straight from a shallow depression beyond basal, digitate process to dorsal furca; apex widely bifurcate, each furca large, about equal in size, parallel; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus with several stout, conical and spinelike cornuti, and bearing an elongate, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side shortened near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.

Etymology: The species epithet formae is derived from the Latin word for beauty ­ forma.
