). Head pale brown, with a small oval dark brown marking covering ocelli and a yellow triangular stigma in front of obscure M-line; head slightly wider than pronotum. Pronotum pale brown except darker lateral margins and medial portion, rectangular, with obscure brown rugosities; anterior corners angular, posterior corners obtuse. Wing membrane brownish, veins brown; legs brown except basal femora paler. Abdominal segments and cerci pale brown.
). Tergum 8 bears a recurved tongue-like process with small spines at the distal margin. Tergum 9 simple without sensilla patch. Hemitergal processes of tergum 10 sclerotized, short, slightly up-curved medially.
Aedeagal tube long, slender, well sclerotized but lesser ventrally, ventroapically with a slender subapically bifurcate Y-lobe which arms with tiny spines at apex and about half as long as stalk of Y-lobe (
