| description |
A small species. The vertex is yellow with brown, fuscous marks, and the pronotum has spots and yellow or brown vittae; the scutellum may or may not have marks. The forewings are yellow with light veins, and the cells have fuscous borders. The clypeus has fuscous arcs that are not visible dorsally. The female pregenital sternite has a small median projection. The male subgenital plates are longer than the pygofer and have macrosetae; they are narrowed laterally, with concave margins, and are angulate apically. Adult males are 2.2 mm long, while females are 2.4 mm. (Sinada & Blocker, 1994)
