Carcasson,1965

This species has length of the forewings of 17โ€“19 mm, a chamois ground colour, irrorated with darker scales and speckled with some black scales.

Carcasson suggested that this species may be wrongly placed in this genus as it differs from other species in the straight margin of the forewings.[2]
