General appearance similar to that of male holotype [ Gorochov, 2004] but with following differences: coloration even more uniformly light greyish brown, i.e. with less distinct lighter (yellowish white) stripes on head and pronotum, and practically without whitish humeral stripe on each tegmen; tegminal dorsal field with 13–14 longitudinal veins which barely S-shaped in lateral part of proximal half, as well as with numerous and slightly irregular crossveins; tegminal lateral field with 15–17 oblique branches of Sc which partly and slightly arcuate, with moderately numerous crossveins, and with area between Sc stem and R moderately narrow (in male, this area very strongly narrowed); genital plate elongate but slightly shorter than two last abdominal sternites together, gradually narrowing to roundly truncate apex having very short and roundly angular posteromedian notch; ovipositor long and with distinctly drilling apical part more or less similar to that of Zvenellomorpha s. l.

Male. Body very similar to that of holotype of this species, but tegmina with slightly longer chords and barely smaller mirror in dorsal field; genitalia almost identical to those of this holotype [ Gorochov, 2004].
