Head with piceous submarginal band on anterior margin, one transverse arcuate band between eyes anteriorly, narrowly margined with piceous (Figs. 1, 4). Vertex slightly more than 2.1 x wider than its median length, medially 1.6 x shorter than median length of pronotum. Face with arcuate, piceous submarginal band (Fig. 3). Pronotum with anterior yellowish brown and posterior submarginal chocolate brown transverse bands; maximum width 2.5 x median length (Figs. 1, 4). Forewing ochraceous, with hyaline spots (Figs. 1, 2). Male genitalia. Male pygofer side broadly rounded in lateral aspect, with many long posteroventral setae (Fig. 5). Valve triangular, nearly 2.2 x as broad as median length (Fig. 6). Subgenital plate with outer margin longer than width at base, outer margin about 2 x longer than width of base, narrowed posteriorly, with a row of stout setae along lateral margin (Fig. 7).
