2.5. Diagnostic Notes **Adult**

Wing-span 18-23 mm; forewings flat at rest. Forewing veins R4, R5 arising separately from discal cell; forewing pattern brownish grey markings on lighter grey/ash. **Male**: Costal fold ca half forewing length, fringed with long broad flat scales; abdomen appearing expanded and flattened apically; uncus expanded, hood-like, valva convoluted. **Female**: Abdomen apex also expanded with scales dorsally and ventrally, those ventrally (“corethrogyne” or “nailhead”) scales with broad apices; forewing vein R5 to termen; hindwing lacking a cubital pecten; genitalia with a strongly twisted ductus bursae and signum with a slender, upright capitulum.
