9mm.
This is a slightly larger species than trichophora,
but has similar facies and male sexual modifications except there is a
conspicuous dull dark brown hair pencil along the forewing dorsum, and the
hindwing dorsum is produced into a conspicuous lobe and has a dense mass of
rufous scales along its edge. The genitalia have the valves elongate,
symmetrical, but of even width rather than tapering, with the apex irregularly
angled. The aedeagus is straight rather than sinuous, with a large cornutus in
the vesica.
