Description:
Male

Head
. White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture bordered with narrow pale brown band; frons with pair of pale brown bands at middle and with pair of brown spots laterally; gena white; eye black, IO/D = 1.1; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with narrow brown band; postclypeus with
c
. 10 rows of pale brown spots dorsally, fused with each other ventrally to form a large blackish brown marking, lateral margin of postclypeus brown, ventro-lateral corner without marking; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown, pedicel and scape darker. Mouth parts pale brown; 4th segment of maxillary palpus brown.
Thorax
. Prothorax brown. Mesonotum pale brown; anterior surface of scutum pale brown; anterior margin of lateral lobe of scutum black; scutellum brown, anterior margin darker; postnotum white. Metanotum brown, with white spot on posterior region of lateral lobe of scutum; anterior margin of scutellum darker. Mesopleuron white except dorsal third brown. Metapleuron brown except membranous region white.
Legs.
Coxae and tarsi of all legs and hind femur brown; fore and middle femora pale brown with white part medially; tibiae pale with brown part near distal end.
Forewing
(

apparent, distal spot large. Opposing spots in cell r distinct but anterior spot less so. Proximal band narrow, broadly interrupted just beyond fork of M + Cu. Distal band narrow and faint. Spot on roof of cell m

distinct. Submarginal spots apparent; spot in cell r

indistinct. Marginal clouds faint.
Hindwing.

Abdomen
. White, each segment with irregular brown band.
Terminalia
. Clunial arm (
Fig. 34A
) well sclerotized, apical part long and slender, forming free needle-like process, antero-ventrally with strongly sclerotized lobe covered with denticles. Eighth venter (
Fig. 34C
) with transversal sclerite, anterior margin rounded, posteriorly fused with hypandrium at middle. Epiproct lobe (
Fig. 34B
) wider than long, broadened dorsally, dorsal margin with conical process medially, posterior surface almost flattened. Paraproct (
Fig. 34A
): ventro-lateral band small, rectangular; distal process short. Hypandrium (
Fig. 34C
): left and right processes well developed, rising from postero-lateral corners, slightly curved, apices directed posteriorly; median tongue constricted medially, posterior margin with rounded notch medially, ventral surface smooth with few wrinkles, dorsal keel shallowly rounded. Phallosome (
Fig. 34D
): pseudoparameres widely separated, broad and short, wider than long, rounded apically. Phallobase narrowing to pointed anterior end.
