Diagnosis

Suprahumeral processes obtusely pointed and dark fuscous in colour; the posterior apex sordid ochreous-red and stouter than the last species described [Pterosticta spreta Buckton = Sextius spretus (Buckton)]. The tegmina pointed at the apices, hyaline, and marked by reddish nervures, the radials at their tips being subdivided by short transverse nervures; the base much stippled with transparent pores. Legs dilated and ferruginous. The front aspect shows the horns slightly recurved. The example figured is a female*, and has a red line down the dorsum. Size, 8 x 5 mm (Buckton 1903).

* Broomfield (1971) stated that this was in error, the specimen being a male.
