Description.— Head: Vertex and with brown scales tipped with pale brown; frontoclypeus as above [specimen with many scales missing]; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with pale­brown scales along apical margin of segment II and base of segment III, inner surface with segments I–II pale brown intermixed with few brown scales, segment III brown intermixed with few pale­brown scales; scape of antenna mostly pale brown intermixed with few brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of pale yellowish­brown 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 yellowish brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale yellowishbrown scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres (legs with many scales missing]. Forewing (Fig. 309 ): Length 8.0 mm (n = 1 ), with brown scales tipped with pale brown intermixed with pale yellowish­brown scales and brown scales; cell and surrounding areas paler than marginal; cell with 2 large brown spots, 1 near middle and 1 near distal end. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Brown. Abdomen (Fig. 66 ): Male with 3 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental areas between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 67–68 ): Uncus elongate, broadly constricted near 1 / 3 , widening near middle, gradually tapering to an acuminate and setose apex; gnathos setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widening basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing narrowly from posteroventral margin to base of uncus; valva with margin of costa slightly upturned from a shallow depression beyond a slanted, basal digitate process; subapical margin slightly excavated; apical furca acuminate and upturned; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, gradually widening distoventrally, forming an elongate cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose, with a slightly rounded outer margin; vesica of aedeagus denticulate, bearing a large, crescent­shaped, apical cornutus; cornutus shortened on on side near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.
