Wing length: 4mm. The pattern on the slightly falcate FW is not much different from P. crassus Schouten 1994 but overall there are larger and darker brown scale patches on a white background. There are eight termenal spots separated by orange patches.
This sp. is very similar to Peniculimius crassus, P. api, & P. marginata which only differ slightly in the shape of the fasciae and in the texturing (scale distribution) in the brownish areas. They are all best separated by the genitalia. -
