| description |
The wings and body are mostly a pale whitish color, but there are four dark faded marks (almost rectangular in shape) on the middle of the wings, forming an upside down U when viewed from above; these dark marks can vary from reddish-brown to dark gray. There are a couple broken orange bands towards the rear of the wings, past the darker marks. There is a small black spot at the base of the 4th apical cell in each wing. The vertex is yellowish brown, and there is a yellow and orange set of markings across the anterior edge of the pronotum; the rest of the pronotum is almost entirely pale. The scutellar angles are yellow-orange, and there are a couple large orange spots on the base of the wings to either side of the scutellum. Adults are 2.9- 3.2 mm long. (3I) |
