5-6mm. The forewing facies is basically similar to that of mesotherma but
the pattern is derived from more of a speckled blackish brown. It strengthens
across the wing to the costa, particularly the antemedial and postmedial bands.
The male genitalia have the valve arms very slender, the harpe acute, very
basal, curved gently round basad. The aedeagus vesica has a zone of
sclerotisation but no cornutus. Both tergite and sternite of the eighth segment
have strong apodemes as illustrated.
