Diagnosis. Elongate setae present on the posterior surface of fore tibia. The legs are yellow except for brown coxae and terminal portions of the last tarsi (see Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 b). Wings are lightly infuscated with a brown marking apically, which extends from cell R1 to halfway through cell R4+5 (see Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 d). The thorax is brown, and the abdomen is almost entirely dark brown, with the last tergite being yellow.
