| description |
This species has a dark wing pattern with a yellowish tint to the cells. Some of the wing cells, especially at the tip of the wing have dark venation. There is a clear window in between the two main dark bands that transverse the wings, and the window above this clear one is slightly tinted yellow; the transverse patches can vary in darkness, from pale to dark brown. The thorax, head and rest of the body are fulvousy orange to tawny in color, usually unmarked or vaguely darkened on the middle portions of the dorsal surface of the head and face; the mesonotum is tan to dark yellowish brown. The legs are also fulvous. The top of the head is flat and square-shaped, characteristic of this genus. Adult males are 4.1-4.8 mm long, females are 4.5-5.0 mm. (Kramer, 1983)
