| description |
Yellowish to brownish overall, this species has symmetrical blackish markings across the wings; these markings tend to be dashes and oblong spots rather than dots and can vary in both number and size, with some individuals densely marked and others only with a handful of markings. The pronotum is essentially unmarked, lacking any prominent small dots that are typical of other members of this species. The vertex is broadly rounded, about half as long in the middle as the width between the eyes. The female pregenital sternite is roundedly produced and sinuate, with a shallow median notch on the other side of two slightly pronounced lobes. Adults are 9.0-10.0 mm long. (Delong 1948)
