Anterior margin of head and costal margin of forewing dark brown. Hind tibial rows PD, AD and AV with 17–18, 12–13, and 12 macrosetae, respectively. Style apophysis somewhat broadened from base to near apex, then strongly constricted, with posteroventral margin forming acute angle, distal extension with stem moderately long, hooked mesad, apex broadened and less than half as wide as section just basad of constriction. Remarks This species corresponds to the OTU labeled as “ Platyjassus sp.” in the phylogenetic analysis of Krishnankutty et al . (2016) .
