description |
A very distinctive species, blackish overall with bold yellowish-white wing venation. Most of the cells in the wing are blackish, except for the upper two apical cells (along the edge of the wing) which are mostly white. The vertex is mostly yellowish except for some small black marks, in particular a bowtie shaped mark in the middle. The pronotum is mostly black except for pale margins and three broken longitudinal lines; the scutellum is mostly black. The female pregenital sternite is trilobate. The male genital plates are narrowed laterally, with margins concave and rounded apically. Adult males are 2.3-2.5 mm long, while females are 2.6-2.7 mm. (Sinada 1994) |
