12mm, 
13mm. The forewings
are less heavily suffused with dark brown than in bipunctalis and thus
appear more contrasty. The antemedial is more hour-glass shaped as in aequalis,
and the basal edge of the postmedial is less sinuous than in bipunctalis,
though still with a slight angle at one-third from the dorsum. Compared to bipunctalis
the male genitalia have the uncus smaller, the distal half of the valve longer,
narrower, more strongly incurved, but with a much smaller apical projection. The
aedeagus vesica has a similar tapering diverticulum and curved sclerotisation in
the ductus ejaculatorius but is smaller.
