Remarks. The external characteristics of the examined specimens matched completely with that of Leraut (1984) ( Fig. 3A ); nevertheless, the female genitalia was slightly different from those figured. The ductus bursae was almost half as long as corpus bursae and became more swollen at the junction of corpus bursae ( Figs 3 B–C ). Wingspan of the adult specimens was 19.5–20.0 mm and their forewing length was 9.5–10.0 mm.
