Oglasa
muluensis sp. n.
 13mm. This species is very similar in facies to lagusalis
but
has a darker ground to the forewing and a broader, less oblique triangle at one
third on the costa. The hindwings are also a much darker brownish grey. The male
genitalia have the valve apex rounded rather than acute, with the ventral margin
of the apex more strongly curved so that the broadest part of the valve is more
distal than in lagusalis. The dorsal flap to the oblique pleat is more
elongate, deeper towards the base of the valve. See also the next species, where
this flap is shorter, but similarly rounded at its broadest point.
