The lateral pronoun has a rounded lobe fringed with fine hairs but is obscured due to the density of the specimens hairs. The first segment of the hind tarsus elongate and thick. There are a lot of body plumose hairs covering this specimen, particularly the thorax; the abdomen is not petiolate. This specimens forewing has 3 submarginal cells. The basal vein on the forewing is slightly arched; the juggle lobe of this specimens hindwing is the same length than the submarginal cell. This specimen has a stigma that is not longer than half the length of the second submarginal cell.
