| description |
A brownish species with a rounded head that has bold markings. The frons of the female is yellow with two large apical fuscous spots. In males, the frons is black with typical markings yellow. The vertex, pronotum, and scutellum are yellow with two large spots on the anterior margin of the vertex and a brown to black band across the posterior part of the pronotum. The wings of the female are semi-hyaline light fulvous with veins darkening posteriorly and darkened along the outer margin of the clavus, in the apical cells, and in the center of discal cells. Male wings are opaque black in the clavus and the adjacent area of the corium, with the outer half of the corium partly semi-hyaline and partly opaque. Both sexes have a distinct white spot at the apex of clavus. The female pregenital sternite is about twice as wide as long, with the posterior margin excavated on either side of a prominent, unnotched median lobe that extends slightly further than the rounded lateral lobes. Males are 4 mm long, females are 5 mm. (Hepner 1942)
