Specimen set with wings spread, those on the right being smaller than those on the left; the left antenna, the last tarsal segment of the left front leg, the claw of the left middle leg, the last tarsal segment of the right middle leg, the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg and the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg are missing.
