| description |
A very distinctively colored species with two broad, brown lines extending from the sides of the head, along the sides of the thorax, and expanding onto the wings; the rest of the wings are a milky white color, as is the rest of the head. The wing venation is pale, almost white, and the lower outer edge of the wing has red markings. Vein CuA is branches, and cells C5, C4, C3, and C3a are all similar in size. The thorax, between the brown border, is a lighter brown color, and the sides of several abdominal segments are red. The antennal bases are also a bright red color. |
