Male (n = 21) (Fig. 6): Head white with ochreous chaetosemata. Antenna brown with whitish-ochreous scales and patch of brown scales at base. Maxillary palpus light ochreous,with patches of dark brown scales at 1/3 and 2/3, white tipped. Labial palpus: 1.7–2.5 mm long; light ochreous, white tipped. Thorax white, with ochreous patch at collar. Foreleg coxa white; femur white, dorsally dark brown; tibia and tarsomeres ochreous, distally ringed with brown. Midleg and hindleg white to light ochreous; tarsomeres II–V ochreous, brown on upperside, with white ringed tips. Forewing length: 10–14 mm; costal line ochreous; median transverse line ochreous to brown, zigzagging with short brown pronounced spot at M1 and short triangular dent at CuA2; subterminal transverse line ochreous to brown, regularly curved up to CuA2, then curved again; R5 faintly marked apically with ochreous; outer margin ochreous with 7 more or less triangular and connected dark brown spots between veins; fringes brass colored; underside ochreous, outer margin with pronounced spots. Hindwing cream-coloured, usually with more or less connected marginal brown spots between Sc+R1, Rs, M1, M2, M3, CuA1 and CuA2; fringes white; underside light ochreous, with marginal spots pronounced. Tympanal organs (n = 4): Transverse ridge more or less rounded, medially slightly flattened. Tympanic pocket extending faintly beyond transverse ridge, rounded. Tympanic drum glomerular, not reaching transverse ridge. Male genitalia (n = 4) (Figs 21–26): Uncus about as long as tegumen arms, downcurved; uncus arms connecting basally, with ventro-lateral tuft of setae at base; dorsal furrow pronounced medially with row of few hairs on each side; apex rounded, slightly indented medially, slightly convex ventro-apically. Gnathos arms connecting at 1/3; main shaft slightly downcurved with apex pointing upward. Tegumen arms regularly enlarging toward apex, connection at about 4/5 length of arms. Costa with apically rounded arm pointing postero-dorsally; cucullus curved upward in distal 1/3, with apex rounded. Juxta triangular, narrowing in distal 1/4 with bell-shaped ventro-lateral projections, regularly curved with apex horizontally straightened; baso-lateral angles curved upward. Transtilla with two very large sclerotized arms projecting posterad, bent inward in apical 1/4, with longitudinal string of long spines medially. Phallus slightly S-shaped, with apex dorsally sclerotized; vesica covered with microspicules, without cornuti. Female (n = 1): Labial palpi: 1.9 mm long. Forewing length: 14 mm. Frenulum triple. Female genitalia (n = 1) (Fig. 39): Papillae anales straight, thick. Posterior apophyses 0.4 × length of papillae anales, narrow, wider at base. Intersegmental membrane between segment VIII and IX covered with microspines. Sternite VIII laterally about 5/3 length of tergite VIII; posterior margin of tergite VIII with line of setae; sternite VIII forming 2 triangular lobes regularly narrowing downward, not connected, densely covered with short spinules of same length; anterior angle of sternite VIII slightly projected anterad, rounded, covered with short spinules of same length. Anterior apophyses 0.03 × length of papillae anales. Sterigma membranous, covered with spinules. Ductus bursae about 3 × length of corpus bursae, narrow, basally directed downward and then bent upward. Corpus bursae elongate, ovoid, with one tiny signum.
