Diagnosis.

Forewing length: 10.0-13.0 mm. Ecpyrrhorrhoe celatalis can be differentiated from E. digitaliformis and E. brevis in the male genitalia (Fig. 36 ) by the straight costa of the valva, the extremely long arms of the juxta with an apical, large, and sclerotized tooth, and the anellus with a long, thick and large spine, and decorated with many tiny spines on its basal 3/4 (attached to distal end of phallus in Fig. 36 ), in the female genitalia (Fig. 51 ) by the posterior part of the antrum looking like a pair of triangular sclerites.
