Description.— Head: Vertex brown; frontoclypeus grayish yellow; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with few grayish­yellow scales, segment II with grayishyellow scales along apical margin; inner surface pale grayish yellow intermixed with few brown scales; scape of antenna grayish yellow intermixed with few brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of grayish­yellow and brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere distally dilated, protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite deeply excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; proboscis pale grayish brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown. Legs brown intermixed with few pale grayishyellow scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 334 ): Length 5.0– 5.1 mm (n = 2 ), brown intermixed with grayish­yellow and dark­brown scales; cell and surrounding areas paler than marginal areas; cell with 2 dark­brown spots, 1 spot near middle, 1 spot near distal end. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Brown. Abdomen (Fig. 141 ): Male with 3 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental membrane between terga 2–3 , and 1 transverse, irregular row of sex scales between terga 3–4 . Sex scales between terga 2–3 appear three times larger than sex scales between terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 142–143 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, broadly constricted near midlength, broadly rounded apically, apex acuminate; gnathos setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen convergent from a wide base, fused dorsally midway between posteroventral margin and base of uncus; costa of valva nearly straight from shallow, basal depression beyond a basal, digitate process to an upturned dorsal furca; apex bifurcate, U­shaped margin between furcae, each furca equal in size and parallel; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva slightly beyond midlength, widening distoventrally forming an elongate and distally protracted cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose, with outer margin broadly rounded; vesica of aedeagus denticilate, with many stout, conical cornuti, and bearing a large, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with a bulbous basal part with one shortened side, exposing a large, hollow, cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
