ID: Vertex black, frons white; labial palps blackish with white apex; a small white thoracic crest; forewing dark grey with black irroration and larger black smudges; white spots on costa and at tornus; scattered subdorsal white scales.
(Said to require genital dissection to distinguish from Psychoides filicivora - but this is nonsense)

Female genitalia: ostium at the posterior margin of A8, with a scalloped ventral lip.
