| description |
A small species with an occasional narrow, light rusty median dorsal band on the face and vertex. This is one of the darkest species in the genus, with the body and wings being almost entirely black and the legs dark. The body has parallel lateral margins, and the wing venation is not very distinct. The face is relatively flat, with a slight 'nose' protruding downwards. Adults are 1.9-2.4 mm long.
