: Forewings narrow, usually reddish-brown with considerable variation ranging from yellow-ochre to dark-brown. The collected specimens show a prevalence of dark-brown and dark reddish-brown forms, similar to the habitus of females (in five out of eight males). Median and postmedian lines of forewing usually delimit a dark median fascia, but this pattern is not always clearly visible, especially in dark forms. Fringe concolorous with ground colour, but dark brown at the vein endings. Veins are often markedly darker. Hindwings are reddish-grey or reddish, moderately diaphanous (semi-transparent), and show a brighter line in the median area, not always visible. The antenna is dark-grey, strongly plumose. The reddish-brown thorax is very hairy. The abdomen is reddish-brown and ends in a lighter hair tuft.

). Uncus short, hook-shaped, with small and slender socii. Gnathos absent. Valva oval, comparatively narrow. Clasper (harpe) conspicuous, at a rather distant position from the distal margin of valva. It is strongly sclerotized, sub-rectangular and shows a usually non-serrated margin. A barely visible process is present at the base of the valva. Phallus bifurcate with symmetrical and strongly sclerotized arms, of 1/2 length of the whole phallus.

). Antrum well sclerotized, with a pair of prominent, finely spinulose processes at the base of the anterior sclerite. The anterior margin of the most sclerotized part of the ostium region (lamella antevaginalis) is similar to a flattened “M”. Papillae anales are short. The bursa copulatrix is very small and poorly sclerotized, without any diagnostic significance.
