 6mm,
possible  5mm. The antennae are ciliate, slightly serrate towards the base. The
forewing is a uniform grey with the medial narrow, irregular, and the postmedial
punctate. The discal spot is strong. The male genitalia have the valves similar
to those of serrata, except the costa
has a shallow angular projection at one third. The aedeagus vesica (not everted)
bears two clusters of moderate spines, one cluster twice the size of the other.
The possible female has a narrow ductus, traversed by the basal appendix bursae
that is sclerotised broadly where it joins the corpus bursae. There is an
irregular zone of many slender spines across the corpus bursae just distal to
the appendix.
