♂ (holotype)

Nagodopsis albipuncta Holloway sp. n.

♂12mm. The forewings are sparsely scaled with dark grey, the central zone being somewhat transparent; scaling is also heavier on the veins, particularly over the cross-veins of the cell. There is a darker patch subapically on the costa with a scaleless area between it and an obscure dark fascia that runs down the costa at three-quarters to the tornus. There is a small patch of white scales one third from the base just posterior to the cell, resembling that of Chalcocelis Hampson males. The hindwings have a central transparent triangle as illustrated, surrounded by dark grey; the dorsum is pale brown. In the male genitalia the valves are much deeper than in parvimargo and lack triangular flaps in the saccular zone.
