Description. Adult.
Colouration. Head and thorax reddish dorsally, black ventrally; abdominal sclerites black, intersegmental membranes red. Eyes grey; ocelli reddish. Clypeus dark brown to almost black; tip of rostrum black. Antennal segments 1 and 2 dark brown, apex of segment 2 yellow, segments 3–7 dirty brownish, 8–10 black. Pronotum with each a submedian and sublateral dark dot on either half, hind margin dark. Mesoscutum with five narrow longitudinal dark lines. Metanotum with dark patch. Forewing with brown veins and whitish membrane bearing a brown pattern consisting of ill-defined patches in the middle and apically (
Figs 6
,
16
). Hindwing whitish, transparent. Leg greyish with brownish femora and dark brown basitarsi and apex of apicotarsi.
Structure. Vertex (

,
58
) 2.1 times as wide as long, surface finely punctured; genae narrowly rounded, not produced; frons large, triangular. Antenna (
Fig. 72
) with one subapical rhinarium on each of segments 4, 6, 8 and 9; segments 5 and 7 slightly narrower than remaining flagellar segments; relative length of antennal flagellar segments = 1.0/ 0.4/ 0.3/ 0.4/ 0.3/ 0.4/ 0.4/ 0.3; segment 3 longer than segments 4 and 5 together; segment 10 with longer terminal seta 1.2 times as long as segment and shorter seta about 0.3 times as long. Clypeus strongly flattened, triangular. Pronotum transverse, short, about 5 times as wide as long. Meso- and metascutellum transverse, weakly raised. Metacoxa (
Fig. 86
) with meracanthus forming small tubercle and short, slightly conical membranous process on the trochanteral cavity. Metatibia with an open crown of 6 apical sclerotised spurs. Forewing (
Fig. 6
,
16
) irregularly rhomboidal, apex narrowly rounded, weakly asymmetrical; vein C+Sc distinctly concave, slender; vein Rs sinuous; vein M1+2 curved backwards; membrane semi-transparent; surface spinules coarse, densely, irregularly spaced, leaving spinule-free stripes along the veins; radular spinules (
Fig. 30
) forming broad, ill-defined bands along wing margin in cell m1, m2, and cu1. Terminalia as in
Figs 136
,
146
. Male unknown. Female proctiger cuneate, subacute apically. Subgenital densely pilose ventrally, subacute apically.
Measurements (in mm) and ratios (
1 ♀
). Head width (HW) 1.12, antenna length (AL) 0.80, forewing length (WL) 2.70, metatibia length (TL) 0.62, female proctiger length (FP) 0.54.—AL/HW 0.71, WL/HW 2.41, WL/ forewing width 2.37, metafemur length/TL 0.65, TL/HW 0.55, FP/HW 0.48, FP/circumanal ring length 3.00, FP/ subgenital plate length 0.77.
Fifth instar immature
