Description: A smoky brown species tinged with orange. The vertex is bluntly angled, and there is a bold white stripe along the margin, bordered with brown below and a dark brown broken line above; the latter line is composed of four irregular triangular spots. There are two bold orange longitudinal bands that begin near the margin of the vertex and extend across the pronotum to the basal angles of the scutellum. The female pregenital sternite has a broad and deep concave excavation, with rounded lobes on each side. The male genital plates are long and narrow, diverging from one another. Adults are around 4.5-5.0 mm long. (DeLong 1948)
