6mm. The labial palps are slightly shorter than in albipupillata, and the third segment is half the length of the second. The forewings are similar to those of albipupillata in their more uniform grey facies, except the discal spot is larger, lacks a white centre, and is in contact with the postmedial. The male genitalia have valves of similar form to those of oculalis and jowettorum, but the exterior processes consist of a long, sinuous dorsal one, and a short, spine-like basal one. The aedeagus vesica has a large cornutus as in jowettorum. The female genitalia are similar to those of oculalis, but the corpus bursae is slightly shorter, and also wider and more truncated at its distal end.
