| description |
Similar to A. latidens in markings and appearance, but has a more produced head and the brown band above the pale marginal band is more broken. The vertex is strongly produced and bluntly angled, a little wider between the eyes than the median length. Overall, this species is orange to brown in color. The vertex margin is white, bordered below with a narrow black line and above by an irregular/broken brown line composed of elongated spots. The wings are smoky brown with pale wing venation. The female pregenital sternite has the posterior margin truncated or sinuate. The male genital plates are long and bluntly pointed, rounded at the apex and diverging from one another. Adults are around 5.5 mm long. (DeLong 1941) |

NOTE: Arundanus is a genus that consists of a number of species that look like one another. It is therefore important to get a clear, detailed picture of the underside to determine species identification. |
