Adult
(

). Wingspan
15 mm
; length of head and thorax combined
3.1 mm
; length of abdomen
3.6 mm
(intersegmental membranes not expanded); lateral length of male genitalia
1.3 mm
(

); length of aedeagus

. Colouration and vestiture: Head covered in light-brownish shortly hairs on frons, longish light-brown hairs posterior to antennal sockets. Thoracic notum densely covered with brown hairs. Upperside of wings: ground colour whitish between veins and termen margin shortly erect light-brown scales; generally covered light-brown scales; scales (
Figure 1E–F
) slightly slender, with weakly truncate apical margin usually produced into 2–3 weak rounded laciniation. Hindwing evenly covered with light-grey scales, basal part slightly longish light-grey hairs; scales slender and some scales become narrow towards the end, with arrowhead shape. Underside of wings usually covered brown or grey scales and hairs; forewing covered with similar scales as on upperside; hindwing covered greyish scales. Structure: Head nearly 2/3 as wide as thorax; compound eyes blackish, original form in lateral aspect, head width including eyes is approximately equal to thorax in dorsal aspect; anterior tentorial pits invisible; mouthparts reduced to small labial sclerite holding light-brown hairs basally. Ocelli absent. Antenna basal flagellomeres 18 segmented and bipectinated, slightly longer than 1/ 3 forewing, length of this antenna nearly
3.6 mm
, flagellomeres covered with brownish scales, anterior pectinations almost identical posterior ones; bearing sensory hairs ventrally.
Forewing (
Figure 3A
) slightly short and slender, nearly isosceles shape; costa practically straight, then gently arched beyond 4/5, apex obtuse and posterior margin gently arched, termen approximately 1/3 as long as costa, gently curved. All veins present without A

; median cell longer than 0.76 times as long as wing, narrow on 1/3 of basal part, then widened distally, anterodistal and posterodistal corner rectangular; R

arising slightly proximal to anterodistal cell; R

; CuP, 1A united and stalked of anal angle. Hindwing subtriangular, costa nearly straight; all veins present; median cell approximately 1/2 length of hindwing, slightly asymmetrical, gradually dilating apically, posterior portion of the cell much bigger than anterior portion; stem of M simple in median cell; R
1
originated at 1/5 of costal margin, Rs ending at wing apex; M

arising at distal margin of median cell; M

and M

Male genitalia
(
Figure 1G–M
). In lateral aspect, dorsum slightly curved dorsally at the middle; saccus very long with 1.3 times as long as height of ring; valva measured from ventroproximal corner to apex of ampulia 1.2 times as long as height of ring; ampulla 0.8 times as long as valva, club-shaped apically; process of harpe 0.6 times as long as ampulla, slightly longer than thick apically. In ventral aspect, gnathos and juxta absent. Valva narrow, proximal part of costa expands inwardly; apical part of valva consists of a claviform. Saccus elongated though expanded inwardly. Aedeagus shortly, slightly bent from basally, as long as 1/3 length of aedeagus.
