Diagnosis. The species exhibits unique genital characteristics, making it easy to identify among other members of the family. These include asymmetrical two juxtal rods of the phallotheca, one being much longer and strongly curved backwards at the middle of its length, and the other being much shorter and slenderer, about 1/3 length of the longer one, and weakly curved in the apical portion, and the caulis of the phallotheca featuring two curved branches in the male genitalia (see Baldizzone & Savenkov 2002: Figs 43–45), and the sterigma featuring a quadrate ventral bulge situated in the anterior half, a cup-shaped colliculum featuring two aristate leaf-shaped sclerites of different sizes, and the ductus bursae with an extremely short spinulate posterior entrance in the female genitalia.

Adult ( Figs 9G ; 12C ): Forewing length 4.5–5.0 mm (wingspan 9.0–10.0 mm) (n=2) ( Baldizzone & Savenkov 2002: wingspan 9.0 mm; Kusunoki & Oku 2009: wingspan 9.0–11.0 mm; Oku 2013: wingspan 9.5–10.5 mm).
