Diagnosis
This species is similar to Promalactis suzukiella (Matsumura) in the wing pattern, but can be distinguished by the rough surface of seventh sternite and a ring-shaped signum in the female genitalia.

Adult ( Figure 1E, F View Figure 1-1 ). Head ( Figure 2C View Figure 1-2 ): Frons greyish-brown; vertex dark brown. Antenna with scape white entirely; flagellum white dorsally. Labial palpus dark brown, except second segment, which is yellowish-brown ventrally; third segment same length as second segment. Thorax: Thorax and tegula yellowish-brown dorsally. Wing expanse 7.5–8.0 mm. Forewing ground colour yellowish-brown. White markings surrounded by fuscous scales, except apical margin; two oblique bands, one at near base, the other from one-third costal margin transverse to posterior margin, another white costal patch at two-thirds of forewing; two fuscous patches, one under costal patch mixed with pale grey, the other at subapical margin of forewing; fringes yellow from apex to tornus, followed by the outer margin, tinged with dark-brown scales near tornus. Hindwing more or less lanceolate; fringes greyish-brown. Legs: hind leg dark brown ventrally, except apical and basal parts of fifth, basal part of fourth and first segment of tarsus white.
