The wingspan is 21–22 mm. The forewing ground colour is chestnut with an ochreous stripe and a large median green patch delimited by slender white lines and a subsequent wide brown border. The hindwings are chestnut. Adults have been recorded on wing in April, May, June, August and September, possibly in two generations per year.
Etymology
[edit]The species is named in honour of Dr. Min Wang, who represents the main collector of most of the type material of the species.[1]
