(Figs. 3A–F, 9E, 10E, 11H, 12H, 13H)

Description. Length of male 4.10 mm. General appearance light brown. Crown 1.4 x longer than basal width between eyes, light brown, with two pale white longitudinal bands in center, separated by black line extending to two-thirds of crown length, posteriorly, bands merge into single band at apex (Fig. 3A). Face black with two transverse white bands in form of inverted «V» at apex of frontoclypeus, and small white band on outer margin of gena extending to eye (Fig. 3C). Forewings light brown, with 2 circular white spots on clavus, and more than 5 veinlets (Fig. 3B); veins dark brown. Femora black, anterior and middle tibiae light brown, posterior tibiae black, and tarsi light brown.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view rectangular, apex slightly rounded with multiple macrosetae at apex (Fig. 9E). Subgenital plate slightly triangular at apex, similar width at base and at apex, longer than wide, with faint punctures at apex (Fig. 10E). Connective in ventral view forming wide “U”. Style in ventral view with apophysis short, robust, square-shaped, with spine on inner margin (Fig. 3D); space between preapical lobe and apophysis Cshaped (Fig. 3D). Paraphyses fused at base in ventral view, diverging slightly before midlength, remaining nearly parallel to end (Fig. 3D). Aedeagus very short, L-shaped in lateral view (Fig. 3E); preatrium absent; dorsal apodeme shorter than shaft, extending straight to apex; shaft robust, straight, tubular, in apical view in gonopore area with two small lateral spines and third dorsal spine of similar size (Fig. 3F). Gonopore subapical, at base of dorsal spine (Fig. 3F).

Diagnosis. Face entirely black except narrow transverse white line dorsally (Fig. 3C). Style apophysis strongly widened distally in dorsal view with spine on inner margin, connective in dorsal view forming “U” (Fig. 3D). Paraphyses divided slightly before midlength in dorsal view but branches not divergent (Fig. 3D). Aedeagus very short, in apical view with dorsal spine of similar length to lateral spines (Fig. 3F).
