Body length
8.2 mm
, fore wing length
6.9 mm
and antenna length approximately 11.0 mm.
Antenna with 65 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere elongate, somewhat acuminate. Median flagellomeres slightly oblique, approximately 1.5 x longer than wide. Occipital carina complete, joining hypostomal carina ventrally. Mesopleuron largely rugose becoming aciculate posteriorly, precoxal sulcus deep with strong chevronshaped striae, speculum present. Propodeum with midlongitudinal carina on anterior 0.8, but irregular posteriorly. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 2.27 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell with very narrow glabrous line posteriorly. Fore wing vein 3-SR 1.1 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 0.9 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 3.04 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.7 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell more or less evenly setose, but with somewhat reduced setosity posterodisatally. Hind wing vein m-cu well developed, sub-tubular. Claws with 3 large, well-separated, yellowish pecten spines. Apex of hind tibia with medial and ventral combs of adpressed setae. Basal lobes of 1
st
tergite small, subtriangular with straight posterior face. Midlongitudinal carina of 3
rd
metasomal tergite absent. Etymology. From Thai “song si” meaning two-coloured in reference to the antennae.
