11mm, 
11, 13mm. The forewings are black and a rather emerald green as in previous
species, but with a distinctly zig-zag antemedial that is bilobed distad
posterior to the cell, then is strongly angled within the cell, with a strong,
oblique section extending towards the discal spot and another strong but finer
zig-zag at the costa. The postmedial is more finely zig-zag, but can enclose a
small whitish dash just distal to the discal spot. In the male genitalia the
costal process of the valve is much longer and more slender, thumb-like, than in
herbealis or dentilinea, and the aedeagus vesica has loosely
arranged basal and distal rows of slender cornuti. The female has a rather
rounded lamella antevaginalis, but much smaller than in dentilinea. The
bursa is rather thick-walled and contains a small cluster of about five closely
associated spines.
