Description.
Head (
Fig. 1
A–D) black, with dark ochraceous longitudinal fascia medially in dorsal view; postclypeus longer than vertex in dorsal view; apex of vertex with tuft of brown hairs; compound eye black; ocellus ochraceous. Distance between lateral ocellus and corresponding eye slightly shorter than distance between lateral ocelli. Postclypeus and anteclypeus reddish ochraceous; gena dark brown, with tuft of golden hairs. Rostrum brown, extending to apex of mid coxae.
Pronotum (
Fig. 1
C) black, with median dark ochraceous longitudinal fascia which is constricted medially; posterior margin of pronotal collar tinged with ochraceous. Mesonotum (
Fig. 1
C) black, slightly narrower than pronotal collar, with reddish median ochraceous longitudinal fascia extending from anterior margin to cruciform elevation in dorsal view; cruciform elevation ochraceous,; lateral sides of cruciform elevation with short brown hairs. Ventral surface of thorax dark brown.
Legs (
Fig. 1
G) mostly dark brown; fore femur with primary spine prostrate, nearly appressed; secondary and subapical spines erect; secondary spine sharp and short; subapical spine broadened, nearly flat.
Fore wing (
Fig. 1
A–B) with basal half mostly brown, apical half hyaline; basal cell light yellow; basal membrane red.
Hind
wing hyaline, with basal part red.
Abdomen (
Fig. 1
A–B) cylindrical and mostly dark ochraceous, with short brown hairs and yellowish brown longitudinal fasciae near midline of body. Timbal cover (
Fig. 1
F) fuscous, small and narrow; timbal with eight ribs and seven intercalary ribs, caudal five ribs fused at base. Ventral surface of abdomen mostly red; sternites IV–VII somewhat dark brown sub-marginally. Male operculum (
Fig. 1
E) blackish brown, short, falcate; tympanum exposed; opercula widely separated from each other.
Male genitalia (
Fig. 2
A–D). Pygofer barrel-shaped in ventral view; dorsal beak long, protruding upwards in lateral view; basal lobe of pygofer short, with apex acute; upper lobe of pygofer very long, slender and curved upwards in lateral view; distal shoulder broadly rounded and convex submarginally, forming a distinct submargin in lateral view. Clasper in ventral view undulated, with median clasper process long, digitate, apical half slightly curved laterally; lateral clasper lobe short and rounded. Prominent lobe-like process at both sides of base of aedeagus long, digitate. Aedeagus bifurcate subapically in ventral view, usually with five long and one short spine-like processes apically and subapically, which are curved in different directions. Posterior margin of sternite VII rounded.
Female pygofer with dorsal beak slender; posterior margin of sternite VII with large median incision.
