The crown is unmarked or has thin brown lines that form arcs on the head. There can be brownish bordering on the inside of some of the wing cells, giving an overall darker appearance. The female pregenital sternite has a median emargination that is not very deep; the lateral sides are sloping/rounded. The male subgenital plates are short with a noticeable V-shaped suture in the middle. Adult males are 3.15-3.7 mm long, females are 3.13-3.8 mm. (Greene 1971)
