12-14mm. The wings are uniform brown as in the previous two species, but
the postmedial fasciae are only weakly angled. The hindwing medial is black,
prominent. In the male abdomen there are massive coremata between segments 3 and
4. There is no tongue-like process from the tegumen nor a rod-like extension to
the juxta, which is broader than in other species. The vinculum is only weakly
angled. The gnathus is typical of Diplurodes, however. The sacculus is
weakly sclerotised, giving rise to a narrow triangular process directed towards
the valve costa.
