The pseudotegumen folded outwards posteriorly, a unique condition within the genus as are the phallus with two diverticula only on its antero-ventral portion, and the inward folded fultura inferior. Examined material (in total 2 ♂). Bolivia. Cochabamba. 1 ♂, HT; 1 ♂, Chapare, Locotal, 1200 m: 1 ♂, X.2019, Calderón-Villavicencio leg. (CGCM 42.521; CGCM). Male (Pl. 3: Fig. 15–16, Pl. 10: Fig. 14). Forewing length: 19 mm, wingspan: 40 mm. Male genitalia (Pl. 15: Fig. 4, Pl. 19: Fig. 14). Saccus with posterior edge concave. Tegumen rectangular, slightly curved. Tergal lobes protruded posteriorly. Pseudotegumen less reinforced anteriorly than posteriorly, the latter expanded latero-posteriorly and folded outwards. Fultura inferior rectangular, twice as wide as long, posterior margin inward folded. Valvae apically pointed (not visible in the Pl. 15: Fig. 4). Female. Unknown. Distribution.
