Description. Size. Length of pronotum in male 1.86–2.11, in holotype 2.05 mm (mean 1.99 mm), in female 3.8–4.0 mm (mean 3.88 mm); N 11/4.

Structures. Male. Tegmina very similar to the preceding species, separated by about half of their breadth, asymmetrically oval, broadest in the middle of their length ( Figs. 11D, E, H View FIGURE 11 ); T7 gland completely missing ( Fig. 11C View FIGURE 11 ).

Female. Tegmina rounded triangular as in the preceding species ( Figs. 11F, G View FIGURE 11 ).

Colouration. Male ( Figs. 11 View FIGURE 11 A–D, H).Very similar to the two preceding species, but T7 ( Fig. 11C View FIGURE 11 ) without the lightly coloured transversal band present in the other species posteriorly of the glandular pouch ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 C–F). In one male from locality Ma 214 the usually uniformly dark areas were broken up into a pattern of dark markings on a lighter coloured background ( Figs. 11E, K View FIGURE 11 ); since the rermaining eight males from the same locality had the usual dark colouration the case is counted as an aberration. Female. Discs of the thoracal nota often with rather large dark markings ( Figs. 11I, J View FIGURE 11 ).
