| description |
A somewhat distinctive pale species with an orange to red color pattern. The orange marks on the middle of the wing resemble a bow-tie in shape, and there are two variations of the wing pattern. The nominate form has only reddish-orange marks on the wing, while form 'accepta' has two bold black dots on the bow-tie; the reddish-orange wing markings can be slightly thinner in 'accepta'. The top of the head has two orange parallel lines and a pale midline, while the pronotum has a "Y" shaped mark that is concolorous with the orange lines on the head. The scutellum is also pale, with two yellow-green to orange lateral triangles in the upper corners. The wing tips have some dark smudging to them, with four black dots that, when the wings are closed, form the outline of a triangle. The face is pale, as is the thoracic venter except for the dark mesosternum. Adults are 2.9-3.2 mm long. (Dmitriev & Dietrich, 2007)
