Description (holotype). Head and thorax (color). Ground color mostly brownish-yellow. Crown ( Figs 39, 40 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) with pair of ovoid, dark brown maculae, about equidistant from eyes and median line. Face ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) with pair of transverse brown stripes below ocelli. Frons ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) with pair of inconspicuous, elongate lateral brown maculae. Pronotum ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) with four irregular dark brown maculae, one pair on median area and another pair near lateral margins; median area with irregular macula, posteriorly brown and anteriorly pale brown. Mesoscutellum ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) with pair of maculae on laterobasal portions and macula on central region, brown. Forewings with veins partially covered by brown on basal half and by yellow on distal half. Lateral portions of mesothorax with large dark brown macula.
Male genitalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ), in lateral view, with basal apodeme rounded apically; posterior portion with rounded lobe separated from anterior portion by non-sclerotized line, with scattered setae ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ); posteroventral margin with hook-shaped process ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Subgenital plates ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ), in ventral view, elongate, fused to valve (with faint suture between plates and valve), narrowing gradually towards obtuse apex; in lateral view ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ), extending posteriorly slightly beyond pygofer apex, with longer setae dorsally. Styles ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ), in lateral view, with oblique projection at dorsal portion for articulation with connective; outer fork small, rounded, subapical region with setae; inner fork more developed with small projection at subapical portion directed ventrally. Connective ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ), in lateral view, linear, fused to aedeagus; T-shaped in dorsal view. Aedeagus ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ), in lateral view, with basal region subquadrate, directed anteriorly, narrowing towards shaft; the latter directed ventrally and then dorsally, elongate and narrow, with pair of long subapical processes ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) directed anteriorly and pair of short apical processes ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) directed outward; gonopore apical ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Anal tube ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) short; segment X with pair of processes, each one ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ) with superior and inferior rami, superior ramus bifurcated distally.
