| description |
A pale species with a forked, dusky mark on each of the wings that extends from the corner of the eyes along the thorax. Small dark spots cover parts of the wings. The tip of the head has a black line, followed by a broad red line leading to the top corner of each eye; for a close-up image of the characteristic head pattern, see here. Sometimes the orange antennal appendages can be quite developed and intricate, as with this individual; these well-developed appendages can produce a "mouth" along the face when viewed from the side. Adults are roughly 10.25 mm long. (UDEL)
For more images of well-marked adults, see here: 1 and 2. |
