Wing length 1.8-2.3 mm (♂), 1.8-2.2 mm (♀). Length of ultimate section of vein M4 divided by penultimate section: 1.5-4.0. Eye height divided by gena height: 2.8-3.2. Scutum subshiny. Chaetotaxy : Two ori (sometimes three on one side); two ors. Acrostichal setulae in four or five irregular rows. Colouration : Head mostly yellow; ocellar triangle, back of head, clypeus and posterolateral margin of frons to base of inner vertical seta dark brown; fronto-orbital plate brown to base of posterior or anterior ors (fading anteriorly), or with light mottling at base of setae; face light brown to yellow; posteroventral margin of gena with narrow brownish stripe; first flagellomere sometimes with distal margin infuscated. Scutum with complete lateral yellow stripe that is sometimes brown posteriorly. Scutellum yellow with lateral corner brown. Metanotum brown, usually with katatergite partially yellow dorsally. Pleuron brown with dorsal 1/4 or less of anepisternum, mottling on anepimeron, dorsal margin of meron and dorsal or dorsomedial margin of katepisternum yellow; katepisternal seta usually enclosed by brown but sometimes on yellow border. Calypter margin and hairs dark. Coxae (sometimes excluding apex to distal 2/3 of fore coxa), tibiae and tarsi brown; base of femora brown (sometimes only dorsally in eastern material or with mid femur entirely yellow), remainder of segment variably patterned, but usually paler on fore or mid femora, and infrequently entirely brown with only apex and anteroventral surface yellow. Abdomen brown, sometimes with posterior margin of tergites 2-5 yellow. Genitalia : (Figs 632-635 ) Epandrium with one posterodistal spine. Surstylus slightly narrowing distally and with two subapical spines with outer spine slightly smaller. Apical membrane of basiphallus produced into one pair of pointed paraphalli. Hypophallus absent or present as small offset sclerotised plate. Mesophallus slightly longer than wide, most heavily sclerotised laterally and dorsally; mesophallus and distiphallus with complete ventral suture. Distiphallus short, entirely divided medially with halves narrow, weakly sclerotised apically and with several inner-marginal points. Ejaculatory apodeme narrow and poorly developed with venter of sperm pump broadly sclerotised. Hosts. Cleomaceae - Cleome . Fabaceae - Coronilla , Lupinus , Medicago , Phaseolus , Pisum , Securigera , Trifolium . Lamiaceae - Trichostema . Malvaceae - Eremalche . Solanaceae - Solanum .
