9-10mm. The forewing facies
is similar to that of apiseriata except the central fascia is more
distant from the discal mark. The hindwing is distinguished by a series of faint
submarginal streaks. The male genitalia are bilaterally symmetrical, the
saccular process distally straight and extending beyond the costal one. The
valve costa has a distinct bulge at one-third. The vesica cornuti are well
separated (adjacent in biseriata and allies), the more distal one very
broad subbasally.
