Head: Scales very slender with bidentate apices; scales of frons partially raised and directed forward, light brown strongly irrorated with dull white; scales of vertex erect or mostly so, especially over occipital tufts, and mostly directed forward; color similar to frons with most scales with dull white apices,. Labial palpus with scales slightly appressed dorsally, mostly dull white with light brown bases to scales; venter of labial palpus with a dense brush of long, slender, erect, brown scales usually with white apices, and a lateral series of ~ 5-7 long, dark bristles; 2-3 bristles also arising laterally from basal segment. Antenna nearly as long as forewing; scales smoothly appressed, dark brown dorsally, paler, more white ventrally; scape dark brown irrorated with white scales and with a row of white scales bordering distal margin; scales of scape and pedicel moderately broad; flagellum without cilia and with a single row of more slender scales completely encircling each segment.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="6" pageNumber="7">Thorax: Forewing (Fig. 17) length 5-6 mm. Dorsum and tegula similar to head in color but with broader scales; thorax mostly pale cream ventrally. Forewing predominantly pale whitish cream, irrorated with scattered dark brown scales; 2-3 small patches of dark brown scales usually present on basal half of forewing along costal and dorsal margins and 2 patches within discal cell; fringe mostly light brown irrorated with dull white. Hindwing and fringe uniformly pale grayish brown; frenulum a single stout spine in male, not examined in female; M1 and 2 stalked ~ 0.6 their length. Fore and midlegs mostly light grayish brown dorsally and whitish cream ventrally with prominent dark brown banding on tibia and tarsomeres; hindleg generally paler in color.</paragraph>

genitalia (Figs 24, 25): Segment 10 mostly sclerotized, fused to tegumen; uncus lobes minute, with caudal margin bifid. Tegumen a relatively narrow dorsal ring, with extended medium lobe fused to uncus. Vinculum broad, U-shaped, anterior margin broadly rounded, ~ 0.7
