Description. Length of male 4.77–5.16 mm; female 5.10–5.20 mm. General appearance light brown with white spots. Crown 1.6 x longer than basal width between eyes, light brown with white spot at apex of crown; two opaque brown bands in center, separated by black line extending to two-thirds of crown length (Fig. 3G); bands do not merge at apex but reach the margins of apex separately. Face light brown, frontoclypeus dark brown toward apex; apex of frontoclypeus with pale white spot in center, and longitudinal white band in shape of inverted V; 6–8 short pale transverse lines on sides of frontoclypeus (Fig. 3I). Forewings light brown, with anteapical and discal cells containing irregular dark brown longitudinal spots; with numerous (usually 11–14) disperse circular white spots, 9 veinlets (Fig. 3H); veins dark brown at clavus suture, light brown in rest of wing. Legs light brown.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view triangular, apex small, with multiple macrosetae at apex (Fig. 9F). Subgenital plate triangular, slightly wider at base than apex, longer than wide, with row of approximately 6–7 macrosetae on outer margin, and multiple punctures from middle to apex (Fig. 10F). Connective in ventral view flat, U-shaped (Fig. 3J). Styles in ventral view elongated, rectangular, with short, thin style apophysis; space between preapical lobe and apophysis C-shaped (Fig. 3J). Paraphyses in ventral view fused at base, diverging widely before midlength, forming inverted V, with thin and pointed apex (Fig. 3L). Aedeagus in lateral view wide, with narrow, dorsally projected preatrium; shaft dorsoventrally widened and slightly curved toward apex (Fig. 3K); in apical view, laterally compressed, with two small projections in form of spines located above gonopore (Fig. 3M). Gonopore subapical.

Diagnosis. Crown light brown with white spot at apex (Fig. 3G). Styles rectangular, connective flat and Ushaped (Fig. 3J). Aedeagus laterally compressed and dorsoventrally widened (Fig. 3K), in apical view with two small lateral spine-like projections above the gonopore (Fig. 3M).
