7-8mm. The forewing is greyer than in the previous few species, the typical
punctate black fasciation being joined by a more general but faint black
suffusion, particularly marginally, with the submarginal being rather irregular,
with two stronger flecks near the centre. The valve of the male genitalia is
relatively narrow, shaped somewhat as in
tribei.
The harpe is obtusely angled, roughly diamond-shaped over its distal part. The
aedeagus has an apical spur somewhat as in
bulli
but the vesica is very small and lacks cornuti.
