, 6mm. The forewings are much greyer than in the previous two species. The discal spot is small, white-centred and well separated from the postmedial, which is accompanied by only a weakly paler band, suffused with dark scales, on its distal side. The submarginal is also obscure, and the dark marginal marks are as in oculalis. The labial palps have the first and second segments extending forwards three times the length of the head. The third segment is only about a third the length of the second and angled upwards from it. The male genitalia differ from those of the other Bornean species in having the valve processes in a much more basal position: a moderate exterior one with a biangular apex; a shorter, slender, spine-like interior one associated with a small, setose lobe. The aedeagus vesica contains a large, rather horn-like cornutus. The female genitalia have a broader but much shorter sclerotised antrum than in oculalis and the next species, and the ductus is also shorter, but the corpus bursae has an extensive sclerotised and fluted neck and a pyriform distal portion.
