Etymology:
The specific epithet is taken from the
type
locality of this species.
Description:
Male
.
Head
. White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings brown; coronal suture black; frontal suture bordered with narrow pale brown line dorsally; frons with pair of pale brown lines at middle; gena brown in ventral half with white spot ventrally; eye black, IO/D = 1.0; ocelli white, ocellar field pale; antennal socket bordered with narrow brown band; postclypeus with
c
. six rows of brown spots, ventral margin blackish brown; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown. Mouth parts pale brown; 4th segment of maxillary palpus darker.
Thorax
. Prothorax brown. Mesonotum white in ground colour; each lobe of scutum with large brown marking, marking on anterior lobe bilaterally divided by narrow white line, marking on lateral lobe divided in two by narrow white transverse line; scutellum brown, antero-lateral corner blackish brown; postnotum pale brown. Metanotum brown, anterior lobe paler, lateral lobe with white spot posteriorly; anterolateral corner of scutellum blackish brown. Meso- and metapleurites brown except membranous region and ventral region of epimeron white.

, showing subgenital plate (A), gonapophyses (B) and internal plate (C) in ventral view.
Legs.
Fore- and middle femur, tibiae and tarsi unavailable. All coxae, trochanter and hind leg brown, distal ends of hind femur and tibiae paler.
Forewing
(

). Spots in cell a

faint, indistinct. Opposing spots in cell r indistinct except for very small posterior spot. Proximal band represented by triangular or semicircular markings just below fork of M + Cu and irregular-shaped marking on basal section of Rs. Distal band indistinct except for faint brown tinge in cell r

. Spot on roof of cell m

small, only distinct on distal Rs-CuA fork. Submarginal spots distinct only for large spots in cells r

, R

and M

.
Hindwing.
Hyaline, cell CuP with faint brown markings at distal end; veins brown.
Abdomen
. White, sparsely with minute blackish brown spots ventrally.
Terminalia
. Anterior margin of 8th sternum (
Fig. 3C
) deeply incised by membranous region medially. Epiproct lobe (
Fig. 3B
) longer than wide, nearly parallel sided and with smoothly rounded dorsal margin, posterior surface shallowly concave. Paraproct (
Fig. 3A
): ventro-lateral band absent. Hypandrium (
Fig. 3C
): left and right processes conical, directed posteriorly, basally arranged with many processes of variable size; basal and distal parts of median tongue strongly expanded laterally, apical margin slightly hollowed, with several fine and rather long setae, ventral surface covered with denticles distally and antero-laterally. Phallosome (
Fig. 3D
): posteriorly with pair of conical processes medially. Phallobase parallel sided posteriorly, then narrowing to truncated anterior end.
Length
. B 1.8–2.0; FW 2.3–2.4; HW 1.7–1.8.
Female
(available from dissected females only). Colour and general morphology almost as in male. IO/D = 2.1. Fore and middle legs brown, distal ends of femur white, tibiae paler.
Genitalia
. Egg guide of subgenital plate (
Fig. 4A
) gradually narrowing to slightly arched distal margin, medially with membranous region; pigmented arms closely approximated basally, antero-internally with extension of sclerite. External valve of gonapophyses (
Fig. 4B
) small, internal end not reaching internal margin of dorsal valve, posteriorly with weak posterior lobe. Internal plate as in
Fig. 4C
.
Length
. B (unavailable); FW 2.1–2.2; HW 1.6–1.7.
