) Forewing length of male 11 mm. Single frenulum bristle in male, condition unknown in female. Forewings with ochre to cream-brown ground colour. Faint brownish antemedian line leaving costa at 1/5 obliquely outward, after 1/3 abruptly directed straight towards anal margin. Discoidal stigmata dark brown, proximal one small, circular, distal one larger, roughly circular to short comma-shaped. Anal centre of wing with a slightly darker half-circle, slightly skewed towards - and almost reaching - proximal discoidal stigma. Postmedian line brown, only costal part clearly formed, where it leaves the costa at 2/3 straight inward towards distal end of distal discoidal stigma, then too faded to trace. Subterminal line a broad diffuse brown band slightly arching inwards from subapex to subtornus, on terminal side fading into subterminal area; subterminal area a lighter ochre than in proximal wing, suffused with brown scales; apical costa with two brown markings, one in apex and one slightly more proximal on costa. Veins on outer margin marked with brown dots. Brownish fringe. Hindwing ground colour cream; diffuse brown proximal discoidal stigma, indistinct distal discoidal stigma with a very faint postmedian line connecting it to the costa. Outer margin blurred light brown, broad at apex, narrowing towards tornus; veins on outer margin with dark markings; fringe a lighter brown than in forewing. Ventral wing sides like dorsal sides, but somewhat darker and maculation more contrasted, with area proximal of postmedian line dark brown versus lighter brown area distal of it, and subtornal area cream; postmedian line in hindwing continued below distal discoidal stigma as line of dark brown dots trailing off towards anal area.
