Medium-sized, tiny <i>Oiketicoides</i> species, wings finely scaled. Wingspan 22.0 mm, Body length 9.5 mm, Forewing length 11.0 mm, FI: 2.2.</p><p><i>Head</i>. Antennae length 2.5 mm, blackish brown with 37 segments, densely scaled. Pecten bipectinate, densely scaled, ventrally long ventral ciliated. Longest pecten is eight times the length of antennal segments. Head densely covered with long hair-like, light brown scales. Frons ventrally with brown, hairy scales, eyes large, blackish grey, EI: 0.55.</p><p><i>Thorax</i>. Long light brown hairy. Wings elongated, r3+r4 and m2+m3 third length stalked. On hindwing, m1+m2 one third stalked, sc and rr fused and connected with dc by a bar at one third. Wings densely covered with light brown, narrow scales, somewhat more dense at the costal margin and in dc. Scales with two dentations (classes 1–2), exceptionally single-pointed, fringes narrowly lanceolate, multi-pointed (Fig. 32).</p><p><i>Abdomen</i>. Dorsally and ventrally densely covered with long light brown, hair-like scales.</p><p><i>Male genitalia</i>. (slide GP 4059, Arnscheid). Total length 3.0 mm, width 0.8 mm. Tegumen elongated, distally pointed, medially hardly notched, covered with scattered fine setae. Two distinctly large flap-like inwardly directed projections extend beyond the medial region of the tegumen, distal end of the valvae does not reach the posterior edge of the tegumen, distally covered with fine setae. Cucullus elongated, clearly curved inwardly, protruding above the distal end of the sacculus. Clasper of the sacculus short, blunt, slightly curved inwardly, distally covered by a row of 4–6 short and sharply pointed extensions. The flap-shaped anellus is distally covered with scattered very fine setae, mediolaterally with tiny setae. Vinculum short and narrow, laterally with crescent-shaped sclerotized appendages.
