7mm. This species has relatively short and deep, triangular forewings that are
pale brown with darker shading marginally and irregularly in the costal zone,
most strongly over the basal half. The hindwings are slightly darker brown than
the forewing ground. The male genitalia resemble those of
punctilineata,
but the harpe is small, acute. The aedeagus has a reflexed apical lobe, but no
ornamentation of the vesica.
