Tegmen yellow brown paling to whitish hyaline on portion anterior to M1+2. Face of head with lora enlarged but not bulbous, overlapping anteclypeus laterally but not meeting medially. Gena raised at base of lorum near frontoclypeus. Frontoclypeus evenly convex, shagreen-rugose. Frontoclypeal sutures extending above ocelli to anterior part of crown. Crown apically roundly obtusely angulate, shagreen with a short median transverse depression immediately behind front margin, a few wrinkles laterally and a well developed coronal suture. Pronotum transversely striate, flat. Scutellum shagreen. Tegmen with M3+4 united with CuA1 closer to apical margin than to M-Cu crossvein. Tegmen with four apical cells (Fletcher & Condello 1994).
Fletcher & Condello (1994) also described and figured the male genitalia.
