Material examined: Holotype ♂: Guyane Française , Piste de Kaw, pk 36 (Camp Patawa), 14.vii.1998, H. de Toulgoët & J. Navatte ( MNHN). Slide: Paris/loan 11, 16.01.2019.

Description. Male. Length of fore wing 18 mm. Fore wing brown with bright pattern of dark-brown spotd of various shape along costal edge of wing (basally, discally and postdiscally) and in postdiscal area between medial veins, poorly expressed reticulated pattern at anal angle, fringe mottled: dark-brown at veins (in thick bundles) and light-brown between veins. Hind wing dark-brown, without pattern, fringe brown unicolorous.

Male genitalia. Uncus completely split by a deep notch, each half of uncus apically with dentate relatively long process; gnathos arms very short, thin; costal edge of valve smooth, abdominal edge slightly curved along all length, outer edge semicircular; juxta massive, scaphoid with heavily sharpened long needle-like abdominal process; saccus cylindrical, apically semicircular with notch; phallus short, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis. The new species clearly differs from the known species of the genus in the following characters:

- a small notch on the saccus apically,

- dentate long processes on the apices of the uncus.

Distribution. French Guiana.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Russian lyric poet Sergei Alexandrovich Esenin.
