Measurement. Male: 2.9mm; female: 3.6mm.
Description. Coloration. Normally pale greyish ( Fig. 2 View FIG A–C). Crown with two conspicuous black spots normally between anterior margins of eyes, and to some extent adjacent to eyes than each other ( Fig. 2A, 2C View FIG ). Face having two blackish round marks on each side below the antennal sockets ( Fig. 2D View FIG ). Forewing with longitudinal brown bands, tinged with purple or green color ( Fig. 2 View FIG A–B).
Morphology. Head subconical, nearly subequal in width to pronotum ( Fig. 2A, 2C View FIG ), with anterior margin smoothly curved to face, acutely angled ( Fig. 2D View FIG ). Crown somewhat longer than breadth between eyes ( Fig. 2A, 2C View FIG ). Ocellus next to the eye at anterior margin. Eye comparatively large ( Fig. 2 View FIG A–D). Anteclypeus tapering towards apex, exceeding beyond the normal curve of genae. Pronotum median length almost equal to the median length of crown ( Fig. 2A, 2C View FIG ). Mesonotum and scutellum smaller than pronotum. Forewing macropterous, normally exposing the apex of abdomen in females and occasionally in males ( Fig. 2 View FIG A–B).
Male genitalia. Pygofer side with few dorsal macrosetae, almost truncate apically ( Fig. 2E View FIG ). Subgenital plate a little concave laterally, macrosetae uniseriate laterally ( Fig. 2F View FIG ). Style narrow, with apophysis slender, digitate, to some extent curved laterally ( Fig. 2F View FIG ). Aedeagal shaft long, bent near base, parallel to base of aedeagus, with tip pointed, gonopore apical ( Fig. 2I View FIG ). Female hind margin of 7 th sternum almost straight.
