DESCRIPTION OF MALE
Head
Head including eyes narrower than mesonotum; green with the following black marks:T-like median mark, connecting ocelli, not reaching frontoclypeal suture or posterior margin of head; spot on each supraantennal plate; crescent moon-like spot between the median mark and eye. Gena black. Postclypeus moderately swollen; dull green but transverse ridges and anterolateral parts fuscous. Anteclypeus dull green with large black patch on each side. Rostrum ochraceous to brown, but black apically; with tip not reaching posterior margin of hind coxae.
Thorax
Thorax green to dull green. Inner area of pronotum with irregular black patches except for median area. Pronotal collar with a pair of large lateral black patches and a pair of much smaller posterosublateral black spots. Lateral pronotal collar not dentate but waved. Mesonotum with the following black marks: large triangular postero-median spot, reaching anterior margin of cruciform elevation and enclosing scutal depressions; inverted triangular spot on posterior half of each submedian sigilla; a pair of transversely arranged small spots on anterior end of each lateral sigilla; a pair of large spots on
A
B
posterolateral corners of mesonotum. Cruciform elevation green but brown medially, with anterior subapical parts black. Thoracic sternites mostly black with some ochraceous or green parts.
Wings
Wings hyaline and tinged with green.Fore wing with infuscation on bases of apical cells and slightly on vein parts around nodal line intersection.Rectangular infuscation present on each hind margin of RA2, RP, M1-4, CuA1, and CuA2 vein. Venation ochraceous but green apically. Basal cell with two fuscous spots. Basal membrane and hind wing jugum gray. Hind wing with infuscation along bases of apical cells 1, 2, and 3, forming a zigzag mark; with indistinct infuscation on bases of apical cells 4 and 5.
Operculum
Operculum green to ochraceous with fuscous medial margin; about as long as wide, nearly smicircular, but lateral side elongated anteriorly; very slightly extending beyond posterior margin of sternite II. Two opercula apart from each other, with gap of about width of operculum.
Abdomen
Abdomen cylindrical, about 1.2520 times (1.17- 1.25; n = 13) as long as head and thorax together; ochraceous to brown with a pair of longitudinal broad patches along lateral sides of abdomen and a pair of small sublateral fuscous spots each on tergites 3 and 4. Tergite 8 covered with white pollinosity medially. Posterior margin of tergite 3 slightly wider than mesonotum. Timbal cover short, semi-oval, wider than long, revealing timbal in dorsal view. Male abdominal sternite III with obliquely protruding tubercle-like projection on each centrolateral surface. Abdominal sternites ochraceous to brown, densely covered with white pollinosity.
Genitalia
Pygofer elliptical in ventral view. Distal shoulder not pointed. Uncus not bifurcate, curved inward in lateral view. Basal lobes of pygofer absent. Aedeagus thick, simple.
DESCRIPTION OF FEMALE
Ovipositor sheath not protruding beyond abdominal segment 9. Dorsal beak longer than anal styles.
