Hindwings reduced, entirely transparent, with termen bordered with a thin black line but without the yellowish cast. Border wider along anal angle and with a small indentation just above the anal angle. The immediate basal area black.

gi): Uncus long, pointed and curved downward, like a bird beak with a protuberance on each side. In lateral view these protuberances are very slender with a total length less than half the length of uncus. In ventral view, these protuberances have a rounded and almost cylindrical appearance. Valvae are symmetrical slighly curved inward and slightly spatulate at tip, reaching the middle of uncus. Tegumen slightly concave and without saccus. Adaegus very characteristic, divided into two distinct parts: an upper one, long, thin, slightly curved upwards and bearing a small smooth vesica and a lower part slightly longer than half the upper one, wider and strongly sclerotized, corrugated and with a bevelled extremity.
