Image (Fig. 2c): The wingspan of the adults is 20mm. The antennae are filiform. The base color ranges from pale dark yellow to orange-yellow, orange-red, and dark brown. There are a cream-colored band, a white line, and black spots on the forewings. The fringes of the forewings are whitish. The base color of the rear wing is orange, and there is a cream-colored band on it.

Tympanal organ (Figs. 3c, 4c): Bulla tympani is round, closed, and the inner edge is concave on the front. The praecinctorium is undeveloped. The tympanum and conjunktivum are on the same plane. Tympanum is D-shaped and conjunktivum is “U”-shaped. The pons tympani is thin and in the shape of a needle. The fornix tympani is thick and elongated in the shape of a triangle downwards. The processus spiniforme is short and in the shape of a thin thorn. The intersegmental thoraco abdominal membrane is in the shape of an indistinct “V”. The tergo-sternal sclerite is long and thin.
