Typhlocyba rubricola |
| description |
A pale, yellowish species with a single broad, dark brown transverse band across the middle of the wings, characteristic of this species; this band noticeably tapers near the costal margin, and the center of the band narrows, more so in some individuals. The apical cells of the wing are brownish, with a typically small and indistinct band of brown spots along the apical crossveins; these apical spots are not very pronounced and do not form a bold band across the apical crossveins like in other Empoa species, another key distinguishing characteristic. The head, pronotum, and scutellum are yellowish, with the latter sometimes having orange lateral triangles. Adults are 3.25-3.5 mm long. (Christian, 1953) |
