Adults (Fig. 2 ) with wingspan 15.0-22.0 mm. Pima boisduvaliella is characterized by the yellowish brown forewing with a white subcostal streak; the elongate valva with a well-developed costa that produced and weakly notched apically, the broad semicircular juxta with a pair of short, finger-like lateral lobes, the V-shaped vinculum ca 1.5 × length of its greatest width, and the aedeagus with two thorns that slightly less than half the length of the aedeagus in the male genitalia (Fig. 4 ); the rounded antrum, the heart-shaped corpus bursae with dense microtrichia in anterior 1/3, with a small oval sclerotized plate and a couple of tortuous, sclerotized plates in the female genitalia (Fig. 6 ).

Three DNA barcodes were obtained and deposited in GenBank: a male collected on August 19, 2007 at alt. 2178 m in Mt. Xinglong, Yuzhong County, Gansu Province, accession no. MT734539, DNA voucher slide no. DNAYLL18043; a male collected on July 24, 2013 at alt. 1461 m in Habahu, Yanchi County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, accession no. MT734540, DNA voucher slide no.
