Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the presence of the head without spots, the yellow maxillary palpi, the thorax without markings, the short forewing with brown crossveins and ovoid cell im, the 1st rs-psm crossvein located at 2/3 of im, the male sterna VIII + IV about 3.0 times of tergum VIII, the small ovoid entoprocessus, and the short, wide and curved arcessus.

Description. Male. Body length 8.3–10.2 mm, forewing length 11.7–13.3 mm, hindwing length 9.6–12.0 mm.

Forewing short and narrow, all crossveins brown. Pterostigma indistinct. Costal area with 19–23 crossveins; 10–13 radial crossveins present. 1st rs-psm crossvein located at 2/3 of im; im ovoid; m1 smaller than m2; 8 crossveins present between Psm and Psc. c1 smaller than c2, dcc opened. A1 forked, A2 and A3 simple. Inner gradate series with 5–8 crossveins, outer gradate series with 7–8 crossveins.

Hindwing narrow, with black suffusion on apical posterior margin. Pterostigma indistinct. Costal area with 16–19 brown crossveins; 10–13 radial crossveins and 8 psm-psc crossveins present. Inner gradate series with 5–7 brown crossveins, outer gradate series with 6–8 crossveins.
