Description: A tawny, fulvousy orange species with a bluntly pointed, short head. The wings are brownish fulvous, with the vertex paler; the vertex has three pale longitudinal lines. The black wing venation, black marks, and white areolar spots on the wings are restricted to the apical third and on the costa; the rest of the wings are a uniform fulvous. The scutellum is also pale, with the lateral angles brown; the pronotum can have a black posterior patch, not present in some individuals. The face is a dull yellowish color that lacks dark margins. The male plates are somewhat triangular, sharply pointed and strongly diverging from one another. The female pregenital sternite is around one and one-half times as wide as the length, and the posterior margin is rounded with a small median lobe. Adult males are 4.5 mm long, females are 5.0 mm.
