Description.
Macropterous male. Coloration. Body dorsally bluish-black to black with milky white to yellowish markings, ventrally paler (Fig. 1a-c View Figure 1 ). Ventral surface of head (Figs 1c View Figure 1 , 2c View Figure 2 ), one small round spot of vertex, ocellus (Figs 1a View Figure 1 , 2a View Figure 2 ), one distinct annular marking of subapical part of first antennal segment (Fig. 1a-c View Figure 1 ), coxae, trochanters (Figs 1c View Figure 1 , 2c View Figure 2 ), three faint annular markings of basal, median and apical parts of fore and mid femora (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2d, e View Figure 2 ), one distinct annular marking of median part and two faint markings of basal and apical parts of hind femera (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2f View Figure 2 ), one faint marking of basal part and one distinct marking of subapical part of fore and mid tibiae (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2d, e View Figure 2 ), one distinct annular marking of subapical part and one small marking of subbasal part of hind tibiae (Fig. 2f View Figure 2 ), sterna of pro- and metathoraxes (Figs 1c View Figure 1 , 2c View Figure 2 ), sterna of abdomen (except connexivum and lateral margins) (Fig. 1c View Figure 1 ), and markings of posterior margins of connexival segments, milky white to yellowish (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ).
Structure. Body of medium size, somewhat flattened dorsoventrally (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs covered with white short bent procumbent pubescence and sub-erect setae; first antennal segment sparsely clothed with erect setae, second to fourth segments densely clothed with procumbent pubescence; fore femur and tibia ventrally clothed with dense short setae (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). Head width subequal to or slightly shorter than length; interocular space more than 2 × interocellar space; rostrum robust, first segment subequal to second and third segments together in length (Fig. 2b, c View Figure 2 ). Anterior pronotal lobe basally centrally sulcate and laterally with shallow arc-shaped glabrous area; middle part of posterior pronotal lobe somewhat concaved; lateral pronotal angles acutely produced, short (Figs 1a View Figure 1 , 2a View Figure 2 ). Fore wing surpassing abdominal tip by 0.7 mm (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ).
Male genitalia. Pygophore oblong, median pygophore process bifid with acute angles (Fig. 3a, b View Figure 3 ); paramere clavate, slightly curved, middle part twisted (Fig. 3a-c View Figure 3 ); basal plate of phallobase longer and thicker than basal plate bridge, pedicel short (Fig. 3d, e View Figure 3 ). Phallosome elliptical (Fig. 3e-g View Figure 3 ); dorsal phallothecal sclerite well sclerotized, apical part concave, lateral arm subequal to strut in length (Fig. 3e View Figure 3 ); apical part of endosome armed with a pair of leaflike sclerites (Fig. 3e, f View Figure 3 ).
