 9mm. The wings are blackish up to the postmedials, beyond which
they are paler and diffusely fasciated. The postmedial border on the hindwing is
straight but the fasciation distal to it is curved. All of the specimens are
rather worn. The male genitalia are similar to those of suffusa,
except the saccus is much broader, the most interior process dorsally on the
saccular margin of the valve is shorter, blunter, the central process is more
robust and more strongly and evenly incurved, and the outer process is flexed
slightly outward at the apex. The uncus is more expanded subapically.
