Diagnosis

Pale golden yellow. Eyes blackish. Tegmina apically, etc.. more or less hyaline, veins of wings pale yellowish. Head convex, anteriorly rounded, shorter than pronotum. Tegminal veins all distinct. Male: I think the valve is absent, but the genitalia in the 4 males seen are shrivelled. Length: 2½ mm. (Kirkaldy 1906).

Pale lemon yellow, slightly paler in midline of pronotum. Tegmina without any obvious yellow markings. Male genitalia: aedeagus, in posterior view, broad, with single shaft increasing in width from base to near apex where it narrows to gonopore situated at base of two elongate apical processes extending laterally and slightly sinuate. In lateral view, aedeagus is slightly sinuate curving posteriorly slightly near apex so that apical processes are set behind plane of aedeagal shaft (Fletcher & Larivière 2009).
