Description
Male: Length of body 14 mm, of fore wing 11 mm.
Antennae with 85 flagellomeres, but apex broken. Height of clypeus:inter-tentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:2.6:2.7. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.5:3.0:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:1.7. Sculpture on face granulate to pustulate, on clypeus similar. Frons depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.2:1.0:2.4. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye52.7:1.0.
Mesosoma approximately 1.6 times longer than maximally deep.
Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:2.1:3.5. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:rm51.0:1.7:1.1. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:3.8. Length of veins 1-CU1:2- CU151.0:7.6. Shape of vein 1-SR+M weakly S-shaped. Swelling in vein 3-CU1 1.5 times thicker than the other part of the vein.
Legs: Length of fore femur:tibia:tarsus52.2:2.4:1.0. Fore basitarsus 4.5 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus52.7:3.4:1.0. Hind basitarsus 3.4 times longer than deep.
First metasomal tergite 1.3 times longer than wide; raised median area longitudinally depressed and whole area strongly strigated. Second tergite 2.2 times wider than long; raised median area strigated, antero-medial triangular area not raised or conspicuous. Third tergite 2.2 times wider than long; with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins, raised median area longitudinally strigose to reticulate rugose. Antero-lateral areas raised and smooth. Tergites four and five similar. Tergites six and seven smooth.
Orange-brown except for apex of mandibles which are black. Wings fairly evenly weakly darkened, with two hyaline zones in fore wing below pterostigma and basally to veins 1-M and cu-a. Apical quarter of pterostigma darkened. Hind wing darkened with two hyaline areas around vein 1-M and costal and marginal cells.
