Forewings colourless, but a large dark mark around first subcostal sector; very faint marks around M-Ms4 and R-Rs1 forks; veins colourless, base of Sc+R without dark spots. Hindwings colourless. In profile junction of vertex and face rounded; subantennal processes close to, but not connected to margins of facial carinae; antennal bases close to margins of facial carinae; rostrum surpassing post trochanters. Forewings with Sc+R fork well before middle of wing; basal median cell narrow, M leaves Sc+R at base of that cell; basal cell between Sc+R and M nearly as wide as basal median cell; Ms1 unbranched, a tiny triangle at base of Ms1.

Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (extrarius, -a, -um = external).

Type material. Holotype ♀ (forewing 3.1 mm), INDONESIA: WEST PAPUA; labels: 1) NEW GUINEA: NETH./ VOGELKOP: Bomberai / 700–900 m, VI-5-'59 2) Alpinia 3) J.L. Gressitt / Collector ( BPBM).
