Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus grayish brown; outer and inner surfaces of labial palpus pale yellowish brown intermixed with few brown and dark­brown scales; scape of antenna pale yellowish brown intermixed with few brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of pale grayish­brown and brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a shallow 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 pale grayish brown. Legs pale yellowish brown intermixed with few brown scales, apical margins of all tarsomeres pale yellowish brown. Forewing (Fig. 352 ): Length 7.1 mm (n = 1 ), pale yellowish brown intermixed with few brown scales, with a faint brown spot near distal end of cell. Undersurface pale brown. Hindwing: Pale brown, scales within anal area slightly darker. Abdomen (Fig. 195 ): Male with two elliptical­shaped, pairs of sex scale clusters on intersegmental membrane between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 ; each cluster with 2 transverse rows of sex scales. Sex scales between terga 2–3 are slightly larger than the sex scales between terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 196–197 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, broadly slightly constricted near midlength, broadly rounded distally, apex narrowly rounded and setose; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing from a widened base, extending narrowly to base of uncus; costa of valva nearly straight from a shallow depression beyond a basal, digitate process to an upturned dorsal furca; apex bifurcate, inner margin V­shaped; furcae divergent, dorsal furca narrowly rounded apically, ventral furca pointed; base of costa bearing a long, slanted, digitate process; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus with many stout, conical cornuti, and bearing an elongate, apical cornutus; cornutus with a shortened side near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
