The wings and body are mostly a pale yellowish-white to whitish color, but there are four dark blackish marks on the middle of the wings, forming an upside down U that curves towards the wing tips when viewed from above. There are orange-red markings toward the rear of the wings, with some darker markings past this in the apical cells. There is a dark mark and red line extending from the costal margin. The vertex is pale with a pale midline, sometimes with orange parallel submedial lines (often with lateral branches). The face is pale. There is a blackish irregular band across the base of the scutellum and wings. The thoracic venter has dark mesosternum, with the remainder pale. Adults are 2.8- 3.0 mm long. (3I)
