Type material. Holotype, Ƥ, ZAIRE: Prov. Equateur, Kalamba 55 km südl. Mbandaka, 3 km östlich Ort, 8.viii.1991, T. Karisch, genitalia slide T. Karisch 1676 (MNVD) .

Diagnosis. Wingspan 24.5 mm. The forewing is blackish brown; the dorsal maculae are broadly interconnected, with dark dots and streaks. The female genitalia has a quadrate sterigma with rounded corners, with the posterior edge strongly sclerotised; and the sclerites posterior of the sterigma are united, forming a broad plate.
