Coloration. General color brown to black with darker brown markings on head, pronotum and scutellum. Crown ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ) with a variable black broad band medially, ocelli and eyes ( Fig. 2B, C View FIGURE 2 ) black. Face ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ) brown, with a black longitudinal stripe on middle of clypeus. Pronotum and scutellum ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ) black, with brown markings. Forewing ( Fig. 2A–E View FIGURE 2 ) clavus dark brown. Legs ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ) dark brown to black.

Wing venation. Forewing with inner and middle anteapical cells closed.

Male genitalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ) long, apex round. Male valve ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ) basal margin curved, apex convex medially, with a sharp projection. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ) uniformly of moderate width from base to apex. Connective ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ), base and apex expanded. Style ( Fig. 2F View FIGURE 2 ) base thin, with fine teeth along medial margin. Aedeagus ( Fig. 2G View FIGURE 2 ) cylindrical, slender from base to apex with pair of long processes preapically, with a short curved ventral process at base of shaft.
