Forewing length is 12-13 mmin males and 14.5 mmin females.  Barsine rhipipteradiffers clearly from three other relatives,  B. visaya  sp. n.,  B. nemea  sp. n.and  B. kishidai  sp. n.by its interrupted transverse lines. The male genitalia of  B. rhipipteraare similar to those of  B. kishidai  sp. n., but differ by the vinculum being rounded apically (that is rectangular apically in  B. kishidai  sp. n.), the broader valva, the more robust medial costal process, the more curved distal costal process, the much larger distal membranous lobe of valva, the broader cluster of cornuti on the medial diverticulum, the longer ventral subdiverticulum of the medial diverticulum, and the narrower, conical subbasal ventral diverticulum (that is globular in  B. kishidai  sp. n.). The female genitalia of  B. rhipipteradiffer from those of  B. kishidai  sp. n.by their antrum being slightly narrower anteriorly, smaller postero-lateral sclerotized area of corpus bursae, and shorter appendix bursae.   Distribution.
