Mesonotum yellowish brown on anterior 2/3, brown on posterior 1/3, with 3 brown longitudinal stripe: unapparent and diffuse medially and thin laterally in some paratypes ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 A), sometimes without any stripes in some paratypes. Postpronotal lobe brownish. Acrostichal setulae in ca. 14–16 irregular rows ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 A). Scutellum brown, pale at tip ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 A). Katepisternum brownish yellow ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 B). Meron slightly brown ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 B). Wing ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 7 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Halter slightly brown apically ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 B). Legs slightly brownish on hind femur. Abdominal tergites brown to black ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 A); second slightly yellow anteromedially, with 1 yellow patch laterally; third with a pair of narrow, yellow patches submedially along margin; fourth and fifth each with a pair of small, unconspicuous, yellow patches submedially along margin; sixth with yellow, M-shaped patch posteriorly. Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 7 setae near posterior margin and ca. 4 setae on ventral corner per side ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 B). Hypandrium lacking sensilla ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 C). Paramere broadened medially, narrowed distally, with some pubescence distally ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 D). Aedeagus reticulated medially, with a triangular projection basodorsally ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 E).
