Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 20 ). Wingspan 19.0–22.0 mm. Agonopterix kaekeritziana can be distinguished by the forewing with a black spot on the outer margin of the cell surrounded by bright red orange scales, and with a large dark brown patch below the black spot; and by the cuiller curved in S shape in the male genitalia ( Fig. 42 ).
