Description. Adult.
Colouration. Body dark brown to almost black. Vertex very dark purplish. Eyes and ocelli grey. Antennal segments 1, 8‒10 black, 2 yellow, 3‒7 yellow to light brown with apices of segments 4 and 6 dark brown. Pronotum dark purplish along fore margin. Thorax with some light dots laterally. Forewing dark brown, with narrow stripe along C+Sc and around apex of clavus light (
Fig. 12
). Hindwing semi-transparent, whitish. Legs with ochreous tibiae and tarsi. Abdomen with light narrow longitudinal median band ventrally; intersegmental membranes light. Younger specimens lighter with more expanded light pattern and brown forewings.
Structure. Vertex (
Figs 40
,
54
) 1.5 times as wide as long, surface finely punctured; genae evenly rounded; frons small, rectangular. Antenna (
Fig. 68
) with one subapical rhinarium on each of segments 4, 6, 8 and 9; segment 9 slightly thicker than other flagellar segments; relative length of antennal flagellar segments = 1.0/ 0.5/ 0.4/ 0.4/ 0.5/ 0.5/ 0.4/ 0.4; segment 3 longer than segments 4 and 5 together; terminal setae about 1.1 and 0.4 times as long as segment 10. Clypeus subglobular. Pronotum transverse, very weakly curved, short, about 5 times as wide as long. Meso- and metascutellum transverse, weakly raised. Metacoxa (
Fig. 83
) with meracanthus forming relatively flat tubercle bearing long, subcylindrical weakly curved membranous process on the trochanteral cavity. Metatibia with an open crown of 6 apical sclerotised spurs. Forewing (
Fig. 12
) rhomboidal, apex narrowly, asymmetrically rounded; vein C+Sc weakly concave, slender; vein Rs almost straight, though weakly curved backwards; vein M1+2 curved backwards; membrane almost opaque; surface spinules mostly wanting, present as one or two lines along the veins (
Fig. 26
); radular spinules forming broad, ill-defined bands along wing margin in cell m1, m2, and cu1. Terminalia as in
Figs 93
,
106
,

,

,
143
. Male subgenital plate, in profile, subrectangular with slightly concave dorsal margin. Paramere straight, lamellar; inner face bearing a group of strongly sclerotised peg setae in apical half. Distal portion of aedeagus weakly inflated apically. Female proctiger cuneate, subacute apically. Subgenital plate sparsely pilose, subacute apically.
