  Description

  
  

  Wing length: 10mm. The co-type from Sikkim (illustrated) has a pronounced dark orbicular blotch on the chestnut brown FW. Some specimens from Taiwan lack the dark blotching and are much brighter orange brown with a distinct yellowish orange patch near the FW tip.
  
  All specimens seen from Borneo (e.g. Schulze (2000) taxon #276) lack the dark blotching and most are rather dull brown and indistinctly marked (Schulze (2000) taxon #522). These latter morphotypes may not be conspecific. Ebulea [Pyrausta] obliquata Moore 1888: 224 may be a var. See Hyalobathra sp. 4.
