It is found more frequently on grasses than on dead branches, and is similar in general appearance to Bamboosiella cingulata(Figs 1-2). However, in contrast to that species the maxillary stylets are deeply retracted and close together medially in the head, the prosternal basantra are well-sclerotised, the mid and hind legs are clear yellow, and tergite VIII is yellow at least in part.
