Diagnosis. The species is different by its forewing of male has the upper edge of cell diffused with fuscous long setae from basal half and androconial hairs covered with apical 1/3 of the cell from the upper edge. And it can be distinguished from other species of the group that the postmedial fascia of both wings without the fuscous inner edge. In male genitalia, the species is special by three strong specialized setae about 3/4 length of valva, and the third seta with minute spines laterally and a slightly expanded apex. In female genitalia, two pairs of singa are present by the shorter pair thin, about 1/6 length of corpus bursae and the longer pair broad, about 2/3 length of corpus bursae.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 59 ). Uncus slender, with apex pointed; gnathos about 2/3 length of uncus, apex with several dorsal teeth; tegumen with sclerotized dorsal ridge X-shaped; valva densely covered with setae, nearly same width from base to apex, apex constricted; three strong specialized setae present at apex, about 3/4 length of valva, third seta with minute spines laterally and a slightly expanded apex; vinculum broad; saccus round; juxta plate-like, with apex bifid; aedeagus slender, vesica with many minute spines, ductus ejaculatorius arising from middle.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 60 ). Anal papillae relatively broad, densely covered with setae; apophysis anterioris and posterioris nearly same width, about 1.5 times length of anal papillae; antrum elongated, cylindric; collar sclerotized; ductus seminalis arising below collar; ductus bursae about half length of corpus bursae, with many minute spines; corpus bursae membranous, two pairs of singa present, consisting of many minute spines; shorter pair thin, present at base, about 1/6 length of corpus bursae; longer pair broad, present at middle, about 2/3 length of corpus bursae.
