Diagnosis

♂: length of body 4.9 mm, length of tegmen 3.9 mm; ♀: length of body 5.8–6.3 mm, length of tegmen 3.3–3.4 mm. Basically light yellowish-brown, vertex with apical median area and parallel apical stripes just inside lateral margins dark. Frons with basal median area dark, area between submedian carinae red. Antennae with dark band just before apex of segment 2. Coxae darker, also bases of femora, 2 dark bands on tibiae, dark band on tarsal segment I. Ventral surface of abdomen in 6 with segment before pygofer dark, $ with some dark markings on abdomen. Tegmen with single dark spot on posterior margin distal to apex of claval vein, veins with several dark areas. Vertex in midline 1.6 x basal width, widest just basal of midpoint, apex rounded; sides slightly convex; posterior margin slightly convex; submedian carinae becoming subobsolete before apex; basal compartment slightly wider than long. Frons in midline 2.6–2.9 x greatest width; submedian carinae subparallel, subobsolete at base and not meeting at apex. Segment 2 of antennae 1.4–1.6 x length of segment I. Pronotum with moderately strong median carina. Mesonotum with moderately strong carinae, outer pair convex and meeting posterior margin. Hind tibiae with single lateral spine in addition to basal and apical ones. Tegmen short, reaching anal segment in ♂, not reaching it in ♀, claval suture present in basal half only; Cu forked at level of claval fork, not reuniting; M not forked, 1 row of cross veins; apical veins simple. Anal segment of ♂ in lateral view with ventrolateral portion produced posteriorly, with subacutely rounded apex. Pygofer with median projection broad, truncately rounded, ventrolateral projections more acutely rounded, slightly curved dorsally, very slightly longer than median projection. Genital style in ventral view with basal half not tapered and straight, apical half tapering towards recurved apex. (Donaldson 1983)
