Description. Size. Male. Length of pronotum 2.40–2.56 (mean 2.46) mm, of tegmina 2.94–3.26 (mean 3.20) mm. Female. Length of pronotum 2.75–3.01 (mean 2.80) mm.

Wings. Tegmina in the male reaching about to the middle of T2, mesally touching each other, apex broadly rounded (Fig. 7L), in the female lobiform, hatchet-shaped (Figs. 7I, M).

Male structures. T7 gland present, shape and size of the pouch rather variable (Figs. 8 A–E). For other characters see characters of the subgenus.

Colouration. Male mainly dark, lighter coloured areas: head occiput, base of antennae, coxa-trochanter region and basal tarsus of the legs, and latero-posterior corners of tergites, the lightenings in the latter case reveal an hidden basic pattern of larger dark patches; pronotum with rounded dark disc and broad transparent margins with dispersed small dark spots, tegmina transparent with rather indistinct small dark spots (Figs. 7 A–G, L). Female mainly lightly straw-coloured, dorsal surface of thorax and abdomen densely covered with differently sized, but rather small darker spots, head sometimes with slightly darkened face, abdominal sternites and a broad transversal band on the tergites anteriorly of the transversal ridge darker, brownish (Figs. 7I, M, N).

Distribution. Morocco, Tanger peninsula and further E, up to the latitude of Tarquist (Fig. 29).
