This species is generally brown and orange. The crown is white with a thin dark brown anterior marginal line and a yellow transverse band between the anterior eye margins; the eyes are brown. The face is white with one or two dark brown lines below the crown margin, or the face is light brown with some dark brown cheveron lines centrally. The pronotum is golden yellow with a white translucent transverse central bar and posterior border. The scutellum has the anterior half golden yellow, the lateral areas darker, and the posterior half white; there is a black dot on each lateral margin. The forewings are light brown with some dark brown and translucent white areas in some cells. The abdominal terga are dorsally dark brown, and the sterna are mostly white. The male pygofer is golden yellow to brown dorsally, and the male subgenital plates are less than one a half times long as their basal width; they are white with dark brown anterior medial areas. The female pregenital sternite is roundly produced posteriorly and is overall white with a posterior medial dark brown area; the female pygofer is golden yellow with a dark brown oblique bar near the posterior third, while the ovipositor is brownish-yellow. Adult males are 4.0-5.9 mm long, while females are 5.5-6.4 mm. (Barnett 1976)
