  Description

  
  

  Wing length: 9mm. A white and pale orange marked sp. In some examples the pale areas may be slightly purple tinged. Note the broad submedian facia edged by a broken or jagged submarginal line on the FW. In some specimens this presents a coronate appearance. On the HW the antemedian line runs to the tornus and the submarginal line ends well before the tornus. See Wang & Speidel (2000: 291 & fig.). In some specimens the patchy post median fascia of the FW may be less distinct. The males have the elongated abdomen typical of Pagyda spp.
