Emended diagnosis. In addition to generic characters. Size small for the genus. Coloration: dark sagittal stripe on face very contrasted and extended to clypeus and labrum ( Fig. 6A View FIGURE 6 ); white parasagittal stripe below antennae with small dark spot; DD variegated ( Figs 3A View FIGURE 3 , 4A View FIGURE 4 ); legs I and II with distinct annulations ( Figs 3A View FIGURE 3 , 4A View FIGURE 4 ); FIII with dark patterns ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7 ); FWs ( Fig. 6E View FIGURE 6 ) with distinct white band at the angle between dorsal and lateral fields; parasagittal white lines on abdominal tergites abdomen weakly defined, made of white spots ( Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 5A View FIGURE 5 ). FW dorsal field with four longitudinal veins. Male metanotal gland as on Fig. 6I View FIGURE 6 . Male genitalia ( Fig. 8A–C View FIGURE 8 ): parameres relatively small; dorsal part of parameres pointing sharply toward basis of pseudepiphallic emargination; rami widely contacting pseudepiphallic sclerite. Female genitalia: copulatory papilla as on Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 .
