Externally, it is a very distinctive unique species characterized by the short frontal tuft, the large distally dark scape, and fuscous brown and purple iridescent scaling of the thorax and forewing. In the male genitalia, the new species is easily recognizable by the combination of a unique lobate valva, large plate of the gnathos, long and distally widely rounded vinculum, two unique dorsal processes of the valva and the large horn-like sclerite of the phallus.
