relatively uniform medium brownish grey above and with a weakly darker border
below. In the male genitalia the valves are paddle-like, lacking the strong
costal and saccular processes seen in congeners.

Habitat preference. The only Bornean specimen is from Pulo Laut, a low-lying
island at the southeast of Borneo.
