Diagnostic features. Body dorsal and ventral surfaces dark castaneous. Head longer than wide. Mandibular plates shorter than clypeus, rounded apically. Clypeus robust and raised above the mandibular plates. Antennomere 4 conical and slightly grooved dorsally. Surface of pronotum convex, anterolateral margins of pronotum concave and reflexed ( Fig. 69 ). Humeral angles slightly projected into small tubercles, directed laterally ( Fig. 69 ). Basal angles of scutellum with one callosity each. Apex of radial vein of corium with inconspicuous callosity. Thoracic and abdominal disc black ( Fig. 70 ). Body length: 7.00– 7.50 mm.

Recorded host plants. Rice ( Campos & Grazia 1998).
