Color. General color terreous. Vertex with the central trapezoid patch at base brownish, submedially with a small blackish spot on each side ( Fig. 1 ), sublateral stripes near eyes faint but visible at the base of face ( Figs. 1, 2 ). Eyes dark ( Figs. 1, 2 ). Face sordid orange except anteclypeus black apically ( Fig. 2 ). Pronotum with the sinuate transverse depressions black brown ( Fig. 1 ). Centre of scutellum with a trapezoid black brown patch anteriorly, apically black, scutoscutellar sulcus brown ( Fig. 1 ). Forewing orange yellow. Legs sordid yellow.

Male Genitalia. Basal abdominal sternal apodemes reaching to end of segment 3, apically narrowed ( Fig. 17 ). Male pygofer brown, strongly narrowed dorsally in apical half, with a few rigid setae, posterior margin concave medially, caudoventral protrusion arising subapically near ventral margin, in lateral view slightly surpassing the end of pygofer side, narrowed and curved caudoventrad in apical half ( Fig. 9 ). Subgenital plate broad, separated and tapered in apical half, B-group setae (31-35) in about 6 irregular rows, D-group setae (5-8) scattered in 2 rows, C-group setae (9-12) uniseriate on the lef side but biseriate subapically on the right side ( Fig. 13 ). Aedeagal shaf fairly broad, apex curved ventrad, gonopore ventral subterminally, on the dorsal side in apical half and ventrally in apical 3/4 adorned with numerous teeth, ventrally with a big tooth at basal 1/3, extreme base of the shaf has a slender process, shorter than shaf, slightly broadened and curved basally, thence parallel to the shaf, apex bifurcated ( Figs. 11, 12 ). Connective lamellate in caudal 3/5, lateral margins concave medially, basal 2/5 of almost the same width and crimped ( Fig. 14 ).
