Diagnosis.

Adult (Fig. 5) with wingspan 16.0-21.0 mm. This species is very similar to Isodemis stenotera bothin appearance and in the genitalia, but can be distinguished by the forewing dominantly dark ochreous brown; the uncus narrowed basally and the phallus with single cornutus in male genitalia (Fig. 14); and the ductus bursae about 1.5 times length of the corpus bursae in female genitalia ( Razowski 2000: 325, fig. 14). In Isodemis stenotera ,the forewing is mainly ochreous brown; the uncus is broadenedbasally and the phallus bears two cornuti; and the ductus bursae ia about the same length as the corpus bursae.
