Parolulis grisescens Holloway sp. n.

♂♂ 12-13mm. This is a slightly more grey brown species than those of the olivescens group, the forewing more uniform within which the fine, pale fasciae are more distinctive. The postmedial has a slightly more acute angle, its costal part having a slight kink at its centre. The pale grey subapical patch is also slightly more conspicuous. The reniform is larger than in olivescens and allies and has a distal constriction that renders that side bilobed. The male genitalia are very similar to those of olivescoides except the blade-like process is apically falcate and the triangular one is narrower, slightly outcurved.
