Evonima maculata Holloway sp. n.

♂♀ 7-8mm.

The forewing has the dorsal margin without an angle but very gently curved.

The pattern appears somewhat chequered, with patches of rich brown on a fawn ground, three set transversely just distal to the postmedial, and a large and a small one set obliquely basal to the antemedial.
