Description. Adults ( Figs. 17–19 View FIGURES 11–19 ). Forewing length 12–13 mm in males and 14–14.5 mm in females. Forewings dark brown; yellow costal margin contrast, but at apeX there is dark brown stroke; apical half of outer margin with triangular yellow dash crossed by dark Veins; dark postmedian costal spot distinct. Hindwings light brown, slightly lighter at anal part. Male genitalia ( Figs. 32–33 View FIGURES 32–35 ). Uncus slightly widened at apeX, with clear apical denticle; cucullus slightly wider than sacculus; dorsal edge of cucullus apeX rectangular, Ventral – rounded; distal saccular process narrow, apically pointed, bent dorsally; aedeagus slightly S-shaped, Vesica membranous, with elongate diVerticulum constricted apicaly and haVing a small finger-like subbasal subdiVerticulum, Vesica ejaculatorius originating subbasally. Female genitalia ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES42–44 ). OVipositor short and broad; apophyses anteriores and posteriores of same length, long and thin; ductus bursae moderately sclerotized, dorso-Ventrally flattened, narrowed posteriorly; corpus bursae pear-like, membranous, without signa.

Remark. There is a Visible Variability in cucullus and sacculus length; in some specimens, sacculus apeX is noticeably longer that cucullus apeX, but we haVe not enough material to study this Variability.

Distribution. China ( Zhejiang, Guangdong, GuangXi, Sichuan, Yunnan).
