| description |
Adults are orange yellow (though typically a darker orange than other members of the genus) with six black dashes above the margin of the vertex and an interrupted line beneath. The posterior margin of the vertex, three stripes on the pronotum, two spots on the scutellum and numerous oval spots on the wings are white. The female pregenital sternite is rounded on lobelike lateral angles; the posterior margin is broadly, deeply emarginate with a broad, short, notched spatulate process at the apex. The male subgenital plates are long and convexly rounded to blunt apices; the lateral margins of each plate are slightly concave. Adults are 4.2-5.0 mm long. (DeLong 1948)
