Tegmen whitish hyaline, veins brown barred with white. Thorax and abdomen ventral surface pale brown. Length 7 mm (Evans 1939).
* J.W. Evans regarded the mouth as being at the anterior extremity of the head so that the apical margin of the head was therefore posterior to the rest of the face with the anterior labium directed towards the hind end of the insect.
