Males small (4.5–6.5 mm long); pronotum orange; elytra light or dark brown, always with some paler yellow or orange markings along sides or across base ( Ballantyne & Lambkin 2000 Fig. 19 View FIGURES 18–25 ; Fig. 45 View FIGURES 45–55 ); ventral body very dark brown to black except for pale yellow prothorax, yellow areas of legs, and white LO which is restricted to a median basal area in V7 ( Fig. 48 View FIGURES 45–55 ); MPP of V7 prolonged, sub-parallel-sided or with sides tapering posteriorly, and apically emarginate; posterolateral corners of V7 rounded, not projecting ( Fig. 48 View FIGURES 45–55 ); aedeagus with relatively short and wide anterior prolongation of ML; lateral margins of LL straight, not expanded in apical ½ ( Figs 49–51 View FIGURES 45–55 ); aedeagal sheath ( Fig. 52, 53 View FIGURES 45–55 ). Female macropterous, coloured as for male except pale LO in V6 only; two wide pairs of plates in bursa, anterior pair with internal ridge ( Figs 54, 55 View FIGURES 45–55 ).
