Description. Forewings elongated, 2.2 times longer than wide, length in male about 4.3 mm. Colour stramineous; a small red mark above the eyes; margins of facial carinae in front of eyes faintly orange. Forewings glassy; lightly infuscated from clavus tip to base of Cu1, from tip of Cu to apex of first costal cell, around base of Ms2, and along apical crossveins; a dark mark around base of Ms3; veins stramineous, a few sections brownish; last subcostal sector and adjacent part of C red. Hindwings colourless. In profile junction of vertex and frons angulated; rostrum reaching hindcoxae; subantennal processes connected to margins of facial carinae. Forewings with Sc+R fork at middle of wing; basal median cell broad, about twice as wide as basal cell between Sc+R and M; a small triangle at base of Ms1. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Genital styles widening towards end; proximal dorsal process small and slender; distal dorsal process long. Aedeagus stem long; apical portion with two flat lobes, parallel to each other.

Etymology. The species is named for the collector and ' hollowayi ' is a latinized noun used in the genitive case.

Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 4.3 mm), EAST MALAYSIA: NORTH BORNEO: SARAWAK; labels: 1) SARAWAK/ Gunong Mulu / Nat. Park. Mulu 2) Camp 4, Mulu / 178 m. i.1978 / 1. montane for. 3) J.D. Holloway / RGS Mulu exped./ B.M. 1978-206 ( BMNH) . Paratype same data as holotype, 1 ♂ (fw. 4.2) ( BMNH) .
