12mm, 13mm. The medial white band of the forewing is broader than in nebrida but much more irregular in course, somewhat triarcuate, with two dentate processes distad, the more anterior one with a fine extension directed obliquely towards the costa. The distal half of the wing is distinctly browner than the basal half. The male genitalia have the valves apically bifid as in canaliferalis, but the processes are more splayed, one much larger than the other. The uncus is more elongate and narrower than in canaliferalis; the scaphium is also narrower, with four slightly larger spines at its distal end.
Habitat preference. The holotype was taken in an area of disturbed and secondary lowland forest with some primary remnants at about 170m in a valley just inland from Kota Kinabalu. The paratype is also from a lowland locality.
