Mesonotum and pleura dark brown ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 C). Postpronotal lobe brownish ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 D). Acrostichal setulae in 12–14 irregular rows ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 C). Scutellum dark brown, yellow at tip ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 C). Wing ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 J): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with 6 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown, with yellow patches ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 B). Male terminalia: Epandrium pubescent near ventral margin, with 10 setae near posterior margin per side ( Fig. 35 View FIGURE 35 A). Paramere with pubescence medially and 4 sensilla subapically ( Fig. 35 View FIGURE 35 C). Aedeagus with pubescence apically ( Fig. 35 View FIGURE 35 D).
