Forewings without any spots; spur formula 1.3.4; maxillary palps 3 - segmented; labial palps 5 - segmented; three ocelli, one located between scapi, two of which located dorsally near each compound eye; head and thorax dorsal warts with dark brown setae; dorsally three dark brown setae near each ocellus; above both side two dark brown setae on wart; near scapi seven setae on each side; posterior warts of head with four setae each; paranotal warts with ten dark brown setae and seven pale brown setae on anterior and posterior edges each; left and right warts of mesonotum with twenty dark brown setae each. Forewing length 11 – 12.5 mm. Male genitalia. In lateral view, segment IX widest (longest) in the middle with narrow (short) dorsal and ventral portions. Preanal appendages (pa) 4 / 5 (3 / 4) as long as intermediate appendages (ia), oval, two times as long as tall (1 / 2 as tall as long), with apex pointed and directed caudad (Figure 2 a). Intermediate appendages apically sclerotized, in lateral view long with distal part and apex curved caudad under obtuse angle (Figure 2 a).
