The length of the forewings is 5–6 mm for males and 5–7 mm for females. The ground colour of the forewings is golden, suffused with black scales. There are two black spots in the basal area. The postmedian line has a golden spot at the costa and forms an X shape with the subterminal line.

Etymology[]

The species name is derived from the Chinese word Zhongguo (meaning China) and refers to the occurrence of the species in many Chinese provinces.^[2]
