The uncus is missing in the males , the gnathos arms are very short and end in large bladders covered with rows of spines. The tegumen is long and narrowed distally . The blades are long, wide at the base and narrow in the middle. The tip is rounded. The anellus lobes are large and about half the length of the valves. They taper distally and have some blunt spines at the tip. The aedeagus is long, narrow, and tubular. It is slightly curved. Cornuti are either present or absent.
In females the anal papillae are long and narrow. The Apophyses posteriores are about a quarter longer than the Apophyses anteriores. The ostium is wide and cup-shaped or funnel-shaped. The antrum is provided with a pair of short sclerotized bars. The ductus bursae is long and narrow and slightly widened towards the corpus bursae. The widest part is more or less granulated. The corpus bursae is oval or egg-shaped and has no sign.
The genitals of males and females show only very small interspecific differences. The moths can be distinguished more easily morphologically.
