13mm.
The forewing facies is as in horisyaensis, though the markings are
somewhat fainter. The male genitalia differ in lacking the spines on the apex of
the somewhat sinuous aedeagus, and in having a triangular flap in the saccular
zone of the valve and a central prong extending from a ridge between more
angular lateral lobes of the juxta.
