Diagnosis. Vein MA with four main branches reaching wing margin ( Fig. 198 View FIGURE 198 ). Tegmina with five large asymmetric hyaline bands; hyaline bands with small marks thin and dark, some marks angulate ( Figs. 198 View FIGURE 198 , 200B View FIGURE 200 ); cell MPCuA wide ( Fig. 198 View FIGURE 198 ). Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly slightly concave, forming a posterolateral acuminate tip ( Fig. 197E View FIGURE 197 ). Metabasisternum diamond-shaped, anteriorly concave; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly convex, posterolaterally forming an angle of 90° ( Fig. 197E View FIGURE 197 ).
Description. Holotype Male.
Thorax. Mesobasisternum triangular, anteriorly straight; lateral lobes anterolaterally convex, laterally straight, posteriorly slightly concave, forming a posterolateral acuminate tip ( Fig. 197E View FIGURE 197 ).
