description |
A small species that appears long and slender. This species looks dark, almost black overall, but in reality only the pronotum and head are dark; the wings are actually amber colored, but due to the dark abdomen, when the wings are down on the body, they appear blackish. When viewed from above, the eyes are darker than the head, and the face is a reddish color. The underside of the body is yellowish, ad the legs are a pale yellow color. The body is red near the wing bases (visible when the wings are raised), the abdomen has an orange tint on the top, and some specimens are reported to have red on the back as well. Males have characteristic genitalia with long, straight male subgenital plates covered with a comb of long setae. Females have a somewhat triangular pregenital sternite with a thin slit in the middle. (BG) |
