| description |
This dark brown species can be distinguished by its short crown with small markings and heavily marked forewings. The face is irrorate with dark brown and has a relatively long sharksmouth pale mark, with pale markings also behind the eyes and at the ocelli and antennae. The crown is brown to fuscous in males, fulvous in females, with a white apical longitudinal mark, a white one along the margin next to each eye, and a pair of discal white spots and small white spots at the base. The pronotum is marked with five longitudinal vittae, and the scutellum has white spots on the disc and tan basal angles. The elytra are irrorate with brown, veins are brown, and pale areas throughout; there are round white areolar spots on the apical portion of the wing and numerous brown costal veinlets. In females, the fuscous area in cells is restricted to the outer anteapical cell and adjoining area of the costa. The vertex is short, about three-fourths as wide between the eyes at the base as the median length. The male subgenital plates are broad at the bases, with narrow rounded apices. The female pregenital sternite has the posterior margin evenly rounded to a small median lobe. Adults are 4 mm long. (Hepner 1947, DeLong 1948)
