Body length
5.4 mm
, fore wing length
4.6 mm
and antenna length 7.0 mm.
Antenna with 46 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere acuminate. Median flagellomeres approximately 2.2 x longer than wide. Occipital carina produced anteriorly near the middle, obliterated medially, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron largely aciculate, anteriorly and dorsally rugose, precoxal sulcus weakly impressed, rugulose, specular area with reduced conchoidal-aciculate sculpture. Midlongitudinal carina of propodeum complete though weak and irregular posteriorly. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 1.45 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell with glabrous zone. Fore wing vein 3-SR 1.45 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 0.85 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.6 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.8 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing with vein m-cu present as a long straight pigmented line, interstitial. Apex of hind tibia with comb of specialised adpressed setae. Claws with pecten of 7 or 8 closely spaced, but clearly separate, slender teeth on basal lobe. Basal lobes of 1

tergite moderately produced, steeply concave posteriorly. Midlongitudinal carina of 3
rd
tergite well developed on anterior 0.8 of tergum.
