Adult ♂ (Fig.
2A-E
)
: Male antennal scape 3.3 times as long as head, with two basal processes, proximal process long, curved distad and distal process short, digitate. Maxillary palps each two-segmented, basal segment setose and twice as long as distal segment, distal segment curved away from head. Labial palps each three-segmented, second segment twice as long as basal segment and shorter than third (2C). Forewings each covered with scales; apical forks I and II present, all forks sessile (Fig.

Right forewing, dorsal. BP = two basal processes of antennal scape (paired); IFA = inferior appendage (paired); IX seg = segment IX; PA = phallic paramere (paired); PH = phallus; X seg = segment X.
Genitalia (Fig.
2A, B, D
)
: Segment IX in dorsal view (Fig.
2B
) apically round beyond which segment X deeply excised, divided into two equal rectangles segments; segment X in lateral view (Fig.
2A
) extended posteroventrad with a round apex, vertical ridge suspended below middle of segment X. Inferior appendages each two-segmented: basal segment subrectangular at base except slightly bulging in middle, small triangular forks arising from upper and inner margins of basal segment; terminal segment slightly excised at the apex. Parameres each pointed at apex, placed diagonally across genitalia; phallus cylindrical, curved, irregularly round shaped at apex, directed downwards (2D).
