The hind wings are gray, roughly scaled in the males, but somewhat finer in the females.

In the males, the distal knob-shaped ends of the gnathos are smaller than twice the length of the tegumen . The blades are small and rounded. The anellus lobes are elongated, widened distally and triangular, and provided with three short rows of spines and a straight spine on the inside. The saccus is narrow distally and 2/3 as long as the tegumen. The aedeagus is straight and has a curved finger-shaped apical protrusion .

In females, the apophyses are very short and almost straight. The genital plate is semicircular and has strong side edges. The ductus bursae forms two loops before it joins the corpus bursae.
