Diagnosis. Male. Head in frontal view with vertex slightly and roundly produced above dorsal eye margin ( Fig. 5B View FIGURES 5 ); POD: OOD = 1.15–1.25; antenna F1–F5 reddish brown, F2–F10 crenulated ventrally; F1 length 2.2–2.27 times its maximum width (on ventral side). Fore wing translucent, with brownish apical portion covering SMC2 ( Fig. 5F View FIGURES 5 ). Genitalia: paramere narrow and long, slightly curved and pointed apically, its outer margin with bristles; apical part of volsella very broad, spoon-like, its ventral face (except area along inner margin) with long, dense, curved bristles ending at top with small ball; parapenial lobe in upper half somewhat crescent-shaped, with narrowing apex ( Figs 3D, 3E View FIGURES 3 ). SGP in ventral view evenly narrowing toward apex, rounded apically; ventral face in apical portion only with thin erect setae; lateral margin in basal portion with setae ( Fig. 3F View FIGURES 3 ). S6 deeply arcuately emarginate medially, and with small curved hooks on both side of emarginations ( Fig. 3H View FIGURES 3 ).
