Diagnosis. Forewing length is 7–8 mm in males and 9.5– 10 mm in females. The species differs externally from other congeners by its more diffuse forewing markings. In the male genitalia, the narrow valva with a narrow distal membranous lobe, and the narrow vesica with a relatively small cornutus are characteristic. The differences between H. kepica and the closely related H. odontotilepida sp. n. are listed in the diagnosis of the latter species.

Distribution. Southern Cambodia (Kep, Kampot and Kampong Speu Provinces).
