Diagnosis. The pseudotegumen folded outwards posteriorly, a unique condition within the genus as are the phallus with two diverticula only on its antero-ventral portion, and the inward folded fultura inferior.
Examined material (in total 2 ♂). Bolivia. Cochabamba. 1 ♂, HT; 1 ♂, Chapare, Locotal, 1200 m: 1 ♂, X.2019, Calderón-Villavicencio leg. (CGCM 42.521; CGCM).
Male (Pl. 3: Fig. 15–16, Pl. 10: Fig. 14). Forewing length: 19 mm, wingspan: 40 mm.
Male genitalia (Pl. 15: Fig. 4, Pl. 19: Fig. 14). Saccus with posterior edge concave. Tegumen rectangular, slightly curved. Tergal lobes protruded posteriorly. Pseudotegumen less reinforced anteriorly than posteriorly, the latter expanded latero-posteriorly and folded outwards. Fultura inferior rectangular, twice as wide as long, posterior margin inward folded. Valvae apically pointed (not visible in the Pl. 15: Fig. 4).
Female. Unknown.
Distribution. Known from two localities in Cochabamba, Bolivia (Pl. 28: Fig. 1).
Remarks. Viette (1961) figured the male genitalia in the original description, so here the male is figured for the first time.
