Description.— Head: Vertex and upper frons grayish brown, lower frons pale gray; labial palpus with segments I–II grayish brown intermixed with few pale­yellow scales to near apical margin, segment III grayish brown; inner surface with segments I–II pale yellow, segment III grayish brown intermixed with few pale­yellow scales; scape of antenna pale yellow intermixed with few grayish­brown scales; scape of antenna pale yellow intermixed with few grayish­brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of pale­yellow and grayish­brown scales; 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite slightly excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; proboscis pale yellow. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum grayish brown. Legs grayish brown intermixed with few pale­yellow scales to near apical margin of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 335 ): Length 5.8 mm (n = 1 ), grayish brown intermixed with pale­yellow scales and few pale grayish­brown; a small pale­yellow spot near base; costa, cell, and outer marginal scales pale yellow. Undersurface pale grayish brown. Hindwing: Grayish brown. Abdomen (Fig. 144 ): Male with 3 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental areas between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 . Sex scales between terga 2–3 slightly larger than sex scales between terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 145–146 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, slightly constricted near 1 / 3 , nearly parallelsided to a narrowly rounded apex; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing near 1 / 3 length between posteroventral margin and base of uncus, atrophied dorsally; valva with costa nearly straight from a basal digitate process to midlength, gradually sloped to an upturned dorsal furca; apex widely bifurcate with margin between furcae nearly U­shaped, furcae upturned, about equal in size, ventral furca slightly curved inwardly; base of costa with a slightly stalked, nearly straight, digitate process; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, slightly widening distoventrally, forming an elongate cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose, with outer margin broadly rounded; vesica of aedeagus with several small, stout, cornuti, and bearing a large, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus a bulbous basal part with a shortened side, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.
