Diagnostic characters. (1) disc of frons and mesonotum dark black-brown ( Fig. 7 C–D View FIGURES 7–8 ); (2) nodal line of tegmina C-shaped in middle ( Fig. 7 A, E View FIGURES 7–8 ); (3) hind wings with anal and sutural zones red ( Fig. 7 A View FIGURES 7–8 ); (4) femora black-brown ( Fig. 7 B View FIGURES 7–8 ).
Description. LT: ♂ (n = 7): 29.0 mm (28.5–29.6); ♀: (n = 9): 35.9 mm (34.0–38.8).
HEAD. Yellow-brown to red-brown, with frons black-brown except sides, clypeus dark brown and labium brown. Cephalic process not reaching posterior margin of vertex; vertex short, with disc wrinkled, and lateral and posterior margins carinate; frons coriaceous with short hairs and 3 longitudinal carinae distinct only on dorsal half ( Figs 7 C–D View FIGURES 7–8 ); labium surpassing hind trochanters ( Fig. 7 B View FIGURES 7–8 ); pedicel of antennae kidney-shaped with flagellum inserted dorso-laterally; ratio BV/LV: 3.7; BF/LF: 1.04.
THORAX. pronotum yellow-brown to red-brown as head, with short hairs, 2 impressed points on disc and numerous minute black points; median carina obsolete, barely distinct ( Fig. 7 C View FIGURES 7–8 ); lateral pleura of pronotum largely blackbrown ( Fig. 7 D View FIGURES 7–8 ); mesonotum red-brown with disc black-brown, without carina ( Fig. 7 C View FIGURES 7–8 ); ratio BT/LP + LM: 1.16; LM/LP: 1.72.
Tegmina olivaceous to olivaceous-brown with membrane yellow-brown; dorsally base red-brown, costal margin green in middle, narrow, yellow curved transverse band at half length, yellow spot at base of vein M and sometimes small yellow spots along sutural margin of clavus; limit between corium and clavus strongly bisinuate with large brown to black C-shaped marking in middle ( Fig. 7 A View FIGURES 7–8 ); ventrally, corium dark red-brown with base red and membrane red-brown, one spot and one transverse band of white wax at level of dorsal yellow markings ( Fig. 7 B View FIGURES 7–8 ); ratio LTg/BTg: 2.32.
Hind wings: ventrally and dorsally disc dark red-brown with turquoise veinlets, base and anal margin broadly bright red, membrane brown ( Figs. 7 A–B View FIGURES 7–8 ).
Legs: dark red-brown with femora darker, black-brown; anterior femora inflated apically; hind tibiae with 4–5 lateral spines, basal one well developed, and 7 apical spines ( Figs. 7 A–B View FIGURES 7–8 ).
Abdomen: red ( Figs. 7 A–B View FIGURES 7–8 ).
MALE GENITALIA. Pygofer 2.9 times higher than long in middle in lateral view, with posterior margin slightly sinuate on dorsal ¼ ( Fig. 2 A View FIGURES 2 ); anal tube short, transverse, about 1.5 times broader than long in dorsal view, and slightly more than twice broader at apex than at base; sides sligtly rounded, apical margin pointed in middle dorsally, projecting downwards ventrally, strongly roundly emarginate in lateral view ( Figs. 2 C, D View FIGURES 2 ); gonostyli longer than high in lateral view, subtriangular with apical margin rounded ( Fig. 2 A View FIGURES 2 ); latero-dorsal tooth of gonostyli projecting latero-ventrally ( Figs. 2 A, B View FIGURES 2 ).
