In female: sternite 2 parallel sided; sternite 3 1.6 X wider than long; sternite 4 2.0 X wider than long; sternite 5 1.5 X wider than long; sternite 7 lacking medial desclerotized area; lacking setulae along posterior margin.
Adults, Ψ (ɗ unknown). Body length 3.8–4.0 mm.
Head ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A–B). Height 1.6–1.9 X length; width 1.2–1.3 X height. Frons 2.3–2.8 X wider than long. Ocellar setae as strong as posterior fronto-orbital seta. Gena 0.47–0.50 X as high as head height.
Thorax ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A). Scutum 1.2–1.5 mm long. Scutellum 1.6–1.7 X wider than long. Wing ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A). Length 4.2–4.9 mm, 2.8–3.1 X longer than high.
